City’s name on postage stamps to aid crime traceability
Postage stamps of the 107 issue will bear state and city of origin and go on sale at 6,000 post offices. Officials say the change will curb large postoffice robberies and help trace criminals, citing a Chicago theft case involving nearly $100,000 in small denominations. The measure also aims to reveal office business volumes and curb padding from stamps sold to nonresidents. Meanwhile, Lutheran confirmations rise to sixty, Rudolph Jeske becomes pastor at St. Peter, a Sleepy Eye store fire causes total loss, and Richard Geisinger enters oil inspector race as the contest grows.
