Domestic Parcel Rates : 1935 - 1946

Postal address cards were used for mailing domestic parcels. Postage stamps were affixed to the address cards, cancelled by the originating office and date stamped by the receiving office. The used cards were not retained by the addressee but remained the property of the PTT. The stamped sections of the cards were cut out of the address cards and sold at auction by the PTT to raise money for charitable organizations.
