Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 21, Number 10, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 27 October 1899 — The New Money Orders. [ARTICLE]

The New Money Orders.

A supply of the new form of post-office money orders has been received at the Rensselaer post-office, but are not yet in use, it being necessary to first use up a quantity of the old orders, still on hand. The new orders are printed on miserable paper to write on but otherwise they are a great improvement over their predecessors. In filling out an order the work of the postmaster is reduced just one half by the use of carbon paper, two copies being made at one writing. In addition to the above labor-saving device a receipt is given the sender and in the future in case an order is lost there will be no delay in having the amount refunded.
