TAKES THREE CENTS TO MAIL LETTER NOW Postmaster R. L. Nicholson [ Pleased With Manner Pub lic Met the Change, i i Three cent stamps bearing the fa- 1 mous Stuart portrait of Washington i identical in size and design with the i two cent stamp of the Washington | bicentennial series except for the ? change of denomination numerals and | oramission of dates were being sold Wednesday for the first time, in or der to help the government get out | of the red. f It is said that it will be several j months before all of the two cent stamps now in existence are exaust- . ed and it will be necessary to use i a two center and a one cent stamp i in order to mail a letter. Post card I postage rates will remain the same. I Two other varieties of three-cent j stamps will be used ? the current Lin-j coin stamp of the regular issue and j tjie three-center of the bicentennial | Series. Four billion new stamps are being j manufactured. Despite the publicity given the change in postal rates, of ficials say that thousands of let ters probably will be mailed tomor row and in the next few days after j that bearing the old-two-cent variety.
