How to Send Money.

By Editor

For a number of weeks the following note has appeared in the columns of the SIGNS : —

ALL money sent by mail to the SIGNS Office should be in drafts or postal orders, payable to the SIGNS OF THE TIMES, if the sum exceeds $2.00. Sums less than $2.00 can be in currency or postage stamps.

In California, where business is done upon a coin basis, it is frequently the most convenient and best way to send coin by express, but even here, if sent from a distance, where the express would be high, it is better to send by draft if a bank is accessible. But from the East bills not exceeding $2.00 can be safely sent by letter. But all sums exceeding that should be sent either by money order or draft, never by express.

These remarks were called out from the fact that $11.00 were recently received at this Office by express, on which the charges were 75cts. A money order would cost 10cts.
