New Foreign Postage Rates on Letters
New Foreign Postage Rates on Letters.—On and after Oct. 1, 1907, the rate on letters addressed for delivery in foreign countries, except Canada, Mexico, Cuba, and the Republic of Panama, will be five cents for the first ounce and three cents for each additional ounce or fraction thereof. The rates for printed matter remain the same as before. This is true of practically all other matter. For six cents a “reply coupon” can be purchased at post-offices which will entitle the person presenting it at a foreign post-office to a five-cent stamp, by which arrangement one in the United States can furnish his correspondent with stamp for reply. Reply coupons are valid in nearly all the countries of the world.
