OF IITTERSEt'to'oUR READERS Several time* wc have published 1 he advertisement of Mayor H. C. ?irooks of Marshall, Michigan, regard ing old stamps. Wc understand that many have benefited themselves finan iaiiy l!.rough tiieir transactions with iim, and no doubt many others have >ld envelopes of value which he wilb be glad to purchase. Mr. Brooks has collected old slumps for many years ;;nd is thoroughly familiar with all issues. Those he especially wants are Confederate or U. S., but he also ouya foreign stamps provided they are old issues, used before 1865. It is explained to us that very few of the U. S. stamps used after 1865 are of value unless the postmarks are unusual in color design. Therefore, no envelopes should be sent which were mailed after 1865. Old folded betters or envelopes used before 1850 arc of value only when they bear ome kind of adhesive postage stamps fhe only envelopes without stamps vluch might have value are some of hose used in the South during the . car 18'Jl, before Confederate stamps Loose stamps Mr. Brooks does not buy except certain varieties of the ?Confederate issues. Stamps should never be cut off as they arc worth ;aore on the original envelopes. The reason for this is that collectors to day are interested in postmarks as we'l as st:mpR. He does not buy coins b;ifederate money, old newspapers, old documents or other relics. Noth ir-c Mil envelopes interest him. This explanation is made be ,... . .1. writes tiiat al l;Oi!;rh he has mod to make this a hi !:is .n.v iti?;ing, many people r till write regarding, miscellaneous '.ri.ici: s which lie does not collect. Some of our readers have also sent nvj! ?;? en w.' :<:Ii they have written dates. This is fnt necessary and some times spoils their apparance after r.cli dates have been erased- Old aiarks cannot be helped, but nothing should be added. Send envelopes just as von find them. The value of an nvdi-pa is determined by the variety of the stamp or postmark and not c|ie exact year mailed. Many of the early postmarks did not include the year date, but that makes no differ ence in value. There are so many different var vM-ics of these old stamps that their alues cannot be determined by writ ten descriptions. Tfyey must be* scm and examined. Many which appear to be alike show slight differences .?'nn er mined with a magnifying glass. The common types are wanted as well ;u> ths it.re anos. Your enve lopes, however, may be quite valuable and therefore should be sent either by registered or insured mail. Mr. Brooks agrees to refundNthe postage if the envelop: s arc not purchased. Such envelopes, if in quantity, should be carcfully packed in a cardboard box and well wrapped to make suro ?ha package will travel safely. We gladly publish this for the benefit of those who have old enve lopes stored away which were mailed during or before the Civil War. Ex tra money Is nlawys welcome . Our churches need it and many indivi duals are sorely in need of snch help. We would not advocate the selling of r^iHily letters. Private letters may fa l:opt, as only the envelopes are of. valuj to Mr. Brooks. In the case of the oi.l-fashioned folded letters bear ing stumps, the entire letter would of oourse have to be parted with as the letter itslef constitutes the "envc Mr. Brooks is so well and favorab ly known to the publisher of the Journal that we have no hesitation in recommending him to our readers worthy of the fullest confidence. Ho will report promptly Tie value of any envelopes sent. ,Yo.i not obliged to sell nnless his is entirely satisfactory.
