Stevenson Issue Will Be 3-Colored
A three color Adlai Stevenson stamp will go on first day sale October 23 in Bloomington Illinois. It uses black intaglio for the portrait and blue and red lithography for the U N wreath bars and final blue lettering. George Samerjan designed it with Robert L. Miller and Charles A. Brooks handling engraving and George A. Payne the lettering. The print run is 115 million copies. The Bloomington postmaster handles first day cover service, with philatelic orders under twenty five dollars to local offices and twenty five dollars or more to Washington. Foreign orders and army or fleet orders are exceptions to the minimum.
