After August 1 the post-offices will redeem postal cards that have been misdirected, soiled or are otherwise unsalable. On returning the cards to the post office, the owner will be given in return supplies to the amount of seventy-live per cent of the returned postal cards. This will save a great deal of loss to merchants, who often procure large quantities of postal cards and have circular letters printed on them, but have a quantity left after sending out the required number.
