Moneyfor You r
Starch Your Attic for Fortune#
in Old Envelopes
Among the old letters of many fami
lies are hundreds of very rare stamp*
and envelopes. Many have been found
and sold for fortunes. Single envelope*
have been sold for as high as $6,000,
and many have brought upwards of ,
SIOO each. It sounds "fishy," but it a ,
true. They are valuable because they/
are rare. And they are rare, ngt -be
cause there are only a few, but simply'
because moat of them have remained
stored away and forgotten, in "U
trunks, family chests and closets.
Make a thorough search through your
attic or store room for such old letters
—anything mailed from 1845 to 1H65.
fortunes .in rare stamps havrf been
found in old trunks which no one ever
dreamed contained anything of value.
Keep the letters if you wish, but send
the envelopes to Mr. Harold C. Brooks,
Bos 223 Marshall, Michigan, and be
will immediately write you, stating
their value. In sending them to ki®
you are not obliged to sell unless hi*
offer meets with your spproval. Any
thing not purchased be will return in
good order. Mr. Brooks, who is mayor
of his eity, is a private collector snd
hf» paid thousands of dollars for old
envelopes bearing stamps. Although
the rare issues are especially desired
he also buys many of the commoner
kinds. Msny people in this way at*
getting Christmas money with very
i little trouble and no expense.
The First National Bank of Marshall,
Mich., writes: "Mr. Brooks has been
in business here for twenty years. You
will make no mistske when you reoom>
mend him to your readers as worthy of
the fullest conGdence, both financially
and personally."
Mr. Brooks states that there are so
many different stamps which are simi
lar in appearance he cannot quota
1 values from written descriptions, but
| must see the envelopes. Furthermore,
he is not interested ill buying loose
stamps or stsmp collections, but only
| the old envelopes bearing postage; so
1 do not cut the btamps from the rnvel
[ opes. It is not necessary to write dates
, on envelopes as Mr. Brooks is fully
> acquainted with all issues even though
\ the postmark shows no year date.
I Those especially wanted are United
1 States issues, but he also buys Cotrfed
| erate, Canidian, Hawaiian, and certain
, . foreign stamps provided they are on
1 the original envelopes and mailed not
| later than 1865.
, 'lf envelopes are sent in a bunch thev
i thould be carefully parked in a card
! | board box to protect them from dam
i age while in the mails. If vou have
1 reason to believe your envelopes arv
[ of special value send them bv regiar
, tered or iqsured mail. If you nave no
>! ,old letters written during or before the
j Civil War, show this notice to your

' lies have lived in the ssrne home for
