Murcar of ' Patrons of the local post office who have had occajiion lately to pur- chase a money order, must liave been surprised at the new fomi of Canadian Postal Money Orders. In- stead of the former oblong piece of paiier. with i|uitc a lot of printing iin it, the new orders are on cai-d- l)OHrd. alxiut half the size of the for- mer ones and with less printing. The new form is expected to save ihe Post Office Department thous- ands of dollars each year. No longer ;ire there separate foi-ms printed for each post office. Instead at Ottawa they find out the i)roper office by looking at the millions of orders thioufrh whicli holes have been punched and are sorted by mechani- cal sorting machinc^s. Within a few minutes literally thousands of orders oan be readily and accurately sorted. Your new oixler has these sorting holts |)ij«ched in it. and these are the actual inist office identification. Endorsement is made on the back in the usual manner when you cash one of these orders. The sender still get his usual receipt for his reoords.
