First Class MaU Is Urged For Greetings The Postal Department recommends all Christmas cards a holiday greetings be sent by first class mail. According to a postal bulletin received by Postmaster Francis McAuliffe a number of advantages may be obtained from doing this Such greetings prepaid at first class rate may be sealed and contain written messages; they are dispatched and delivered first; if -necessary, without additional charge, and, if undeliverable, returned at no further expense to the mailer provided the sender's return address is shown on the envelope. The bulletin went on to explain that unsealed Christmas cards sent as third class mail without unauthorized writing are chargeable with two cents postage if does not exceed two ounces.

However, the bulletin said, a charge of three cents is applicable to such greeting cards which measure less than four inches Jong or two and three fourths inches wide. Patrons having a number of greeting cards to deposit are urged to tie them in bundles with addresses all faced one way before mailing-so as to facilitate their handling in the post office. Greeting cards bearing particles of glass, metal, mica, tinsel, and other similar substances for decorative purposes which are likely to rub. off and injure postal em- ployes or damage canceling machines must be enclosed in tightly sealed envelopes with postage prepaid at the first class rate.
