NEW POSTAL CARDS.

PERMISSIBLE TO WRITE MESSAGE ON EACH SIDE. Department I’naeta Old Rnle and Will iaauc Another Style Anguat Firat-— Prominent Toledo Bnaineaa Me* Sent to Workhonae. A bw departure in posnrt cards has been decided upon by the Postoffice Department in Washington. Beginning Aug. 1, the consumer will get more for his penny than heretofore. The front aide, for years reserved by an inexorable rule for the address, will be invaded by advertisements, pictures and message*;. Postmaster General Meyer has proniulgated an order to this effect. A vertical Tine will be placed about one-third of the distance from the left end of the card. The space to the right of this line will be reserved for the address, and the remaining portion of the front side may be devoted to details of how all the children are, or any other of the things that heretofore have’been confined to the back aide. For years people have been sending to the United States from foreign countries postal cards and post cards with, messages written on. the front gs well as on the back of the cards, although in this country this advantage has been denied the users of government portal cards. Some months ago the United States postal laws and regulations were amended so as to give that privilege to buyers of post cards, but such concession was not made applicable to postal cards. This ruling will remedy this inconsistency and so prevent further confusion. A very thin sheet ofpaper may -lie attached, if it completely adheres to the card and such a paster may bear both writing and printing. Heretofore 2 cents-in postage was required if this was done. Advertisements, illustrations or writing may appear on the back of the card and on the left third of the front. Postal cards bearing particles of glass, metal, mica, •and, tinsel, or other such substances are declared to be unmailable, except when inclosed in envelopes.
