Posted in Quantity unstamped.—"Householder" Circulars.

Circulars or other printed matter may be prepaid in cash to the number of not less than 240 at the ordinary rates of postage (see page 24), and each addressed fully in the usual way, or addressed merely "The Householder" (with or without place of delivery; if no place is mentioned, the town of posting is to be understood as the place of delivery). Delivery of the latter will be made by letter-carrier to every householder within the letter-carriers' respective deliveries so far as the supply goes. Householder circulars posted under this rule but not delivered may be claimed by the person or firm posting them.

When Writing is permitted.

Printed papers, of which the text has been modified after printing, either by hand or by means of a mechanical process, except as specified herein, or which bear any mark whatever of such a kind as to constitute a conventional language, cannot be sent at printed-paper rates.
As exceptions to the above rule, it is permitted—(a.) To indicate on the outside of the paper the name, commercial standing, and address of the sender;(b.) To indicate or alter in a printed paper, in manuscript or by a mechanical process, the date of despatch, the signature, and the commercial standing or profession, as well as the address, of the sender;(c.) To correct errors in printing in printed documents;(d.) To mark through certain parts of a printed text, in order to render them illegible;(e.) To make prominent, by means of marks, passages of the text to which it is desired to draw attention;(f.) In forms of order or subscription for books, newspapers, engravings, pieces of music, to indicate in manuscript the works required or offered, and to erase or underline the whole or part of the printed communications;(g.) To paint fashion-plates, maps, &c.
Additions made in manuscript, or by means of a mechanical process, which would deprive a printed paper of its general character and give it that of individual correspondence or communication, are forbidden.
