postage was increased also.
The rate on First Class letters
jumped from 4<* to 5c.
The now not-so-lowly post
eard requires a 4c stamp. Air
Mail letters took off from 7c
to 8c. Air Mail post cards
moved up to 6c.
Our annual bulk rate mailing
fee for the Clothmaker
jumped from $20.00 to $20.00.
Per copy mailing increased
from 2 l-2c to 2 5-8c. If we
elected to mail The Clothmaker
in bulk, our cost would
increase from 16c to 18c per
lb. And that's not all. The
Post Office Department says
no more triangular, hexagonal
01* round shaped envelopes.
All envelopes must be
retangular in shape and not
less than 3 in. x 4 1-2 in. in
size.
One ray beams bright. Nonprofit
organizations' circulars
will drop from 16c to 9c per
pound. This is encouraging???
At the rate federal costs are
increasing and business
profits decreasing, more and
