ADVERTISMENTS IIAY NOW BE PRINT—
ED ON THE ADDRESS SIDE.
Postmaster -General Mulock author-
izes the making of the announcement
'that he is about to remove the restric•
tion which at present prevents the
user of a post carni from utilifiing the
front cf a post card by having any-
thing written or printed on it except
the address of the person for whom it
is intended. Mr. Mulock's intention
is to permit pictures, views, designs,
or other advertising matter to he prin-
ed on the face of the card, so long as
sufficient clear space is left to allow of
the address being written or printed,
so that it can easily he read in the
office where it is posted. The cards
will. be issued in sheets if so desired
for conveu:erice in printing. Malkin -
lock thinks that this concession will
prove a considerable stimulant to bus-
iness, and will not only advertise the
advertiser, but the country as well,
and also add considerably to the pos-
tal revenue. It will also furnish work
fer printers. The idea is certainly a
capital one, and may result in much
good to the country in the way of ad-
vertising some of hs natural features,
as well as its public and other build-
ings.
