Democratic Sentinel, Volume 19, Number 28, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 19 July 1895 — NEW MONEY ORDER BLANKS OUT [ARTICLE]

NEW MONEY ORDER BLANKS OUT

Are in the Form of a Bank Draft and of a Sea Green Color. Requisitions for money order blanks received at the Postoffice Department will be filled from this time on with the new blanks designed some months ago. It will not be many weeks before the public will become well acquainted with the new design, and it is safe to say that it will in all probability prove a popular change. The new blanks are in the form of a bank draft. The text is lithographed and the ink used is a sea-green shade. The effect is artistic and pleasing, and altogether the form and general appearance of the new blank is such as to make the recipient feel more than ever as if he had a good thing. The old scheme of notched numerals at the left end of the blank is retained, as it has proved a great convenience in business and a safeguard against fraud. The dollars and cents are also printed on the reverse side, so that with a nice register in the press work both sides of the bit of paper will show the precise amount of the order.
