Place Your Christmas Seals On Back, Not Front of Envelopes.

All persons affixing “Red Cross” or Christmas seal stamps to letters or packages should remember that such stamps do not take the place of regular postage stamps, but that regular postage must also be affixed. Also all stamps, other than postage, should be placed on the back of the letter or package. Several foreign countries refuse to admit to their mails all articles bearing Christmas or other charity stamps on the face. Among these countries a/e Canada, Germany, Great Britain, Norway, Austria and Brazil. If Christmas stamps addressed to persons in any of° these countries, are mailed-they will reach their destination. Place all such seals on the back.
