Corbett REMEMBER condition if you want satisfaction No. 37, Lippincott St., Weston OPP. THOMSON BLOCK our prices on " on hand SOLVING TI-[E PROBLEM OF "ow TO DIAIL X)IAS PARCELS By D. V. S. Every Christmas brings its number- less gifts to be sent through the mails and now is none too early for a word of advice and information in regard to postage rates, proper packing and dates or mailing. For instance, the next parcel mail for Australia. and New Zealand will elase on the 4th of December at the latest and even that will be a week late for Christmas. To China and Japan, nothing sent.later than the 20th of this month can be depended on to arrive in time-provided that it has not a long distance to go in- land. The last date of mailing for the British West Indies and the Bermudas is December 5th; for England about 7-8th of December; tor European ports not later than 15th of Novem- ber. "These dates are, ot course, founded on present information as to sailings and are subject to possible changes. . Even in sending parcels to any points in Canada it is most advisable to mail them early in order to avoid the heavy rush. Five days is con- sidered sufficient to Vancouver, but at Xmas, 10 days should be allowed; 4-5 days tor Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. For extreme points in Mrestern United States about 10 days should really be allowed. It would be well to notice that letter rates to Great Britain and parcel rates to all foreign countries have been raised since August of this year. The accompanying list will show what they now are. These were raised by the International Postal Union at their meeting in Madrid in 1920. This union meets every three years and settles what the world rates shall be. It is entirely due to it that our rates to foreign countries have been so greatly increased. So far ts Canada is concerned, our domestic rates have not been raised at all. _ Cant' Register Parcels Another change is that parcels can no longer be registered, unless paid at letter rate of postage to any place but to the United States. In Canada they may now be insured instead of registered but in mailing to any other country there is no protection. The scale of rates tor insurance on parcel post within Canada is as follows:, Six cents (t insurance over $5.00 and not excee ing $25.00. Twelve cents for insurance over $25.00 and not exceeding $50.00. Thirty cents tor insurance over $50.00 and not exceeding $100.00. This fee is paid by means of post- age stamps affixed by the sender. Tn- sured parcels must bear insurance markings supplied by the Post-Office. Three cents. for insurance up to $5.00. l Another ‘point which is not new, but which, nevertheless, needs to be repeatedly stressed, is that the sender should put his name and address plainly in ink both on the outside and the inside ot the parcel. Many par- cels are so poorly wrapped that the flimsy coverings are torn off in the mails or the badly written directions are blurred beyond deciphering and the result is very unsatisfactory both to the sender and to the Postal auth- orities. In mailing to foreign Coun- tries except to the United States, a Customs declaration is required and, of course, the name and address of the sender necessarily appears on it, .Heavy articles of a rrehtr fragile nature such as chinawar'e, glass, pot- tery, cameras, field glasses, scientific instruments, clocks, watches and mu- sical instruments should be wrapped in excelsior' or some shock absorbent and carefully packed in well made wooden boxes and labelled, ”Fragile with care." V Light, fragile articles such as arti- ficial and cut flowers, cake, candies, fans, feathers. fountain pens, Jewel- lery, pipes, phonograph records, spec- tacles and toys should be packed in double-faced corrugated cardboard containers and labelled "Fragile with care." Must be Well Wrapped _ It has been found that ordinary cardboard boxes are not satisfactory for sending shoes and such goods by mail and it they are used, should be wrapped in several layers of strong paper and well tied with cord. One cannot be too careful in the" packing and wrapping of parcels to be sent through the mails. Such articles as hats and, millinery of various kinds should be packed in rigid boxes of wood or stout "leathers board" with lids extending well down over the sides, or in boxes protected by light crating of wood. Such par- cels should always be marked “Fragx ile with care." Pictures in frames should be pro- tected front and back by wooden boards each rather larger than the frame. Unframed paintings and photographs should be protected by layers of strong corrugated cardboard. Drawings and maps, it not specially desired to be transmitted flat, may be rolled around a stout stick and Carre- fully wrapped or enclosed in strong cardboard tubes.' These packages too should be marked "Fragile with care." Golf sticks, umbrellas, and fishing rods should be protected by two pieces of wood, each a little longer than the article in question. The sharp points ot these and the sharp edges of any tool or such articles must be so well covered that they cannot cut through their coverings. Any liquids or oils must be enclosed in hermetically sealed glass bottles packed in a box of wood or strong corrugated cardboard with a. sume- ient quantity of sawdust or cotton to absorb all the liquid in event of the bottle becoming broken. Any 1ictue- fiable substances such as butter and lard must be packed in strong leak- proof containers, and marked “Keep from heat." Powders and any Pulver- ized substances may be sent as liquids or else in cases of wood, metal or papier mache sufficiently strong to prevent their escape. Fish, game and vegetables should be well packed and marked "perish- able." / It these simple rules of careful packing. plain addressing and early mailing are followed the presents on which you have spent so much thought and energy will pay you full compensation tor your labor by arriv- ing at their destination in plenty of time tor the g:reat day and in just as perfect condition as they left your hands.
