A postal regulation has been in force now for some two months which !s no! well known among business men or they would more generally avail themselves of it, We refer to the fact that statements, bills, et<N, can now be mailed in an unsealed envoi ope with a cent stamp. Th is the monthly statements, many of which are made out by wholesale and retail dealers each month, can he mailed for one cent, but uo writing other than the legitimate bill can be placed upon the statement. No such words as “please remit** can be, neither can a bill receipted; be sent. If it is neees'Snry to have the words ‘please remit” on the statement or bills, they can be printed as a part of the head ing. Publishers of newspapers have the right to enclose bills for subscriptions iu their paper.-, and also receipted bills fur the same, but not to write “pleuae remit,” which,-however, maybe printed on the bill without infringing the law.
