FOR
. lars in addition to the regular parcel
post rate, the government will reim- CI
burse you for any damages to said
package or total loss up to amount
insured for. As the insurance fee
plus the postage amounts to so little
it is being taken advantage of by the
big shippers of small article for i:t B()
addition to the insurance feature it
also carries a guaranteed delivery
with a return receipt, similar to registered
mail, thus enabling a merchant
to prove delivery should a customer
deny receiving parcel.
The C. (). 1). feature enables a seller
to have his article collected for on
delivery and his money returned to ^
him. Thus you are buying for cash rea

that the shipper does not care to open |,.u
an account for one article; so he ships ^j j
