Orders on towns having several offices.
20. When application is made for a Money Order payable in a town where there are several Money Order Offices, the Postmaster should ask the remitter at which of such offices he wishes the Money Order to be paid, and, should he name a particular Office, the Postmaster must draw the Order and Advice accordingly, otherwise the Order should be drawn on the Chief or Head Office of the town or city where payment is required.

Prefixes allowed.
21. Prefixes, such as “Mr.,” “Mrs.,” “Miss,” or “Messrs.” may not be used in granting a Money Order, and, in the case of a married woman, her own Christian name, and not that of her husband, should be used.

Proceedings in granting a Money Order.
22. Having ascertained that the amount of cash received for the Order and for the commission is correct, the Postmaster must date-stamp the Order and the corresponding Advice in the proper places with the date of issue, and copy into them from the Requisition form (Acct. No. 70) the amount (which must be written in figures at the head and in words in the body of the Order) and the name of the Office at which the Order is intended to be paid (see list of Money Order Offices), together with the names of the payee and remitter, in the spaces set apart for the purpose. If the Order is intended for payment outside New Zealand, the Postmaster must act in accordance with Rule No. 37. The Postmaster must then copy the particulars given on form Acct. No. 70 into the relative columns of the Money Order Issued Statement.

Full designation of paying office to be given.
23. Where two or more offices of the same name exist, the full designation of such offices as given in the “List of Money Order Offices” must be given in the Order and Advice, and the latter must be addressed in the fullest manner.

How amount spaces must be filled up.
