The popularity of the double post- card in folder form with Norwich post card devotees is expected to dimin- ish as the result of an order which has been received at the local post- office. The order comes from the de- partment at Washington and raises the postage on such cards to two cents. There is a provision, though, which mitigates the seeming harshness of the order. If the cards contain no writing the one-cent stamp will suf- fice. If the card contains writing a two-cent stamp must be used. Particularly of late the double folder post card has become popular. The form of postal allows of giving a good view of a large building and the ac- companying grounds. The order af- fects the entire country. NEW STOREHOUSE. One of Brick for Robertson Co.
