Evening Republican, Volume 17, Number 53, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 3 March 1913 — A Novelty in a Check-Stamped and Sent by Mail. [ARTICLE]

A Novelty in a CheckStamped and Sent by Mail.

Leslie Alter adopted a brief method of sending an advertisement and the pay for it to The Republican office. He took a First National check, made it payable to Healey & Clark, editors, Rensselaer, Ind., for 25 cents, placed a one-cent stamp on the upper righthand corner of the check and wrote the advertisement in the lower left Hand corner, and dropped the check in the postoffice. No letter and no envelope was used. The check arrived safely with no mutilation except the cancellation of the stamp. Get the “Classified Ad” habit and get rid of the things you don’t need. You will find that there is some good money in a judicious use of The Republican's classified column.
