The list of prices may be in writing, but no other matter, except as stated below, whether printed or written, will be permitted. If the card is not enclosed in an envelope, the whole of one side must be reserved for the postage-stamps and the address, and, if required, the words “With compliments.” Cards may be folded, and when folded must conform with the above measurements. |

If produced by any other mechanical process than printing, at least twenty copies must be submitted to the post-office simultaneously for posting, and special attention called to their nature. The word “Circular” must be written or printed on the circular and on the envelope containing it. Inland circulars posted in quantities may be prepaid in cash (see page 24). |
NOTE.—Printed letters posted singly, and which are of the nature of an actual and personal correspondence, must be paid for as letters. For example, printed letters or slips, such as “You are requested to call at this office without delay,” “Your account is very much overdue, and must be settled forthwith,” cannot be accepted as circulars unless at least twenty copies in identical terms are posted at one time.
