Among the old letters of many Southern families are hundreds of very rare stumps and envelopes. Many have him h>und and sold for small forttines. Single en velopes have been sold for as high as $700.00. Many have brought upwards of $50.00' eaclt. It sounds “fishy,” but It’s true. They arc valuable because they are rare. They are rare, not because there aro only a few, for there are many of them, but simplv because most of them are for gotten, being stored away in old trunks and closets.

Many an old trunk or chest contains letters that may bring the finder a profitable reward. Send these to Mr. Harold C. Brooks, Box 224 Marehallf Michigan, and he will imme diately write you, stating whether they are of value and, if so, will oiler you full value for them. He is a private collector of rare stamps and envelopes and will pay more for those he is seeking than a dealer. Besides the Confederate issues, certain United States and foreign stamps are wanted provided they are on the original envelopes and mailed between 1815 and 1870. Although the rare issues are espe cially desired he al-o buys many of the commoner kinds, and many people are in this way getting (iliristinas money with but very little trouble and no expense. The Advertising Manager of this { taper has,-known of Mr. Brooks or many years and you may plage fullest Confidenep in his integrity, lie wm advise you frankly, offering what hi* regards the envelopes as worth to him and in case the envelopes are not satisfactory they will be returned to the sender. s'As so many stamps are similar in ap pearance, Mr. Brooks cannot quote values from written descriptions, but .must see the envelopes. Furthermore, the condi tion of a stamp or envelope has an impor tant hearing on its value. Confederate money, old documents or coins he docs not collect, • If envelopes are sent in a bunch they should be very carefully wrapped—if r>es- siido between cardboard to protect them from. becoming wrinkled or crea**ed.
