| Abstract: | Several readers have written to ask why we have changed the position of slogans on the envelope so that they now obliterate the stamps. Perhaps a word or so of explanation will not be amiss. All forms of postmarks arc intended to cancel the stamps in order that they cannot be reused and to show the office and date of posting. To ensure that all the stamps are cancelled when more than one is used the cancellation takes the forms of wavy lines or a postmark slogan. [excerpt] |
