Postage plan waives stamps for bulk mail in trade
A proposal discussed by the patience department would allow merchants and others sending large circulars or cheap mail matter to pay a local nestmaster the postal charge, bypassing stamp affixing and canceling. Envelopes would carry a notice of compliance, sender’s name, and destination city, with records kept to trace irregularities. The plan aims to cut clerical work and damage to goods from canceling stamps.
