Postage on Small Merchandise

The assistant postmaster-general, in reply to an inquiry, says that “all articles of merchandise, not exceeding twelve ounces in weight, which are not from their form or nature liable to destroy, deface, or otherwise injure the contents of the mail bag, when put up in such manner that the contents can be examined without destroying the wrappers, may be mailed at a prepaid postage of two cents for each two ounces or fraction thereof.”
