Postal Note Stamps
Postal Note stamps were first introduced on February 1, 1945. They were used in a similar manner to money orders to send smaller amounts of money to anyone in the mainland Unites States.
Plus, postal notes were popular with postal clerks because they meant less paperwork. When a customer brought in a postal note, the clerks only had to affix the stamps to a postal note card and cancel them. The customers filled out the paperwork, saving the clerks time and effort.
Postal notes were made up of three parts. There was the payee’s coupon on the left, the paying office coupon in the middle, and the purchaser’s receipt on the right. The post office kept the middle portion, to which the stamp was affixed, as proof that the money had been paid.
Postal Note stamps could only be used at specific post offices. The service was discontinued on March 31, 1951.
