STATE AND CITY ON 1907 STAMPS Six Thou. end Office Will Have Local Brtvnd on Every Letter Mailed. ana ran furnish "voo oTa'cr'now"""- Postage stumps of the issue of 1U07, at 6000 Presidential postofflces, will bear on their face the name of the state and city in which the postolllce is situated. The 'chief reason for this unovation is said at the Poatofllce Department, to be the belief that it will help do away wi'h postolllce roheries and make it much easier to trace criminals. The postofllce rob bery at Chicago a few years ago Is a ood exmple of the ease with which stolen posture stamps oau be disposed of, for no trace of perpetrators was ever discovered, although nearly 100,000 worth of stamps was stolen, and these mostly iu small denomina tions. Another reason for the change s to enable the Postolllce Dpeartment to determine the amount of business done by different postofllces and pre vent padding through stamps sold by some offices to residents who do busi ness In adjoining cities.
