For example, a tire or casing 32 inches in diameter, the tubing or casing being 31⁄2 inches thick, would have a length of 32 inches, while its girth would be approximately 11 inches, making the length and girth combined 43 inches, and, therefore, within the limit of size prescribed for fourth-class or parcel-post mail. However, in measuring a tire or casing which is so wrapped as to form a circular-shaped solid parcel, or leave no perfectly clear space in the center, the outside diameter of the parcel shall be taken as the length, and twice its diameter and thickness as its girth. Permissible Additions and Inclosures In addition to the name and address of the sender, which is required, it is permissible to write or print on the wrapper or cover of a parcel, or on a tag or label attached to it, the occupation of the sender, and to indicate in a small space by means of marks, letters, numbers, names, or other brief description, the character of the parcel, but ample space must be left on the address side for the full address in legible characters and for the necessary postage stamps. Inscriptions such as "Merry Christmas," "Please do not open until Christmas," "Happy New Year," "With best wishes," and the like, may be placed on the cover of the parcel in such manner as not to interfere with the address, or on a card inclosed therewith. The written additions permissible upon third-class matter also may be placed on fourth-class matter, together with any marks, numbers, names, or letters, for purpose of description, or they may be placed on the wrapper or cover, tag or label. There may be written on the blank leaves or cover of any book a simple manuscript dedication or inscription not in the nature of personal correspondence. Space sufficient for a legible address, postmark and the necessary postage stamps must be left on the address side of parcels. It is permissible to inclose with matter of the fourth class an invoice showing in writing or printing the name and address of the sender and of the addressee; the names and quantities of articles inclosed, together with inscriptions indicating, "for purpose of description," the price, style, stock number, size, and quality of the articles; the order or file number, date of order, and date and manner of shipment; the initials or name of the salesman, or of the person by whom the articles were packed or checked. Directions for taking medicine written on a label attached to a bottle or package containing the medicine or inclosed with it are permissible and do not affect the classification of the parcel. Public library books otherwise mailable as parcel post matter, may bear any printed or written mark constituting a necessary inscription for the purpose of a permanent library record. Written matter in the nature of a personal communication on the wrapper of a parcel or inclosed therein, will subject the parcel to the letter rate of postage. See paragraph below regarding letters attached to parcels of fourth-class mail. Printed matter relating to an article which it accompanies is regarded as descriptive of the article within the meaning of Section 458, Postal 141 and Regulations, and therefore is a permissible inclosure with such cle when mailed as fourth-class or parcel-post matter. Printing on an article or on its wrapper, or on a label pasted to it in manner as to form an integral part of it, does not affect the classion of the article as parcel-post matter. The tag or label, with the printing or writing authorized thereon, ay be attached to the whole parcel or separate tags or labels, bearing same, may be attached to each of one or more articles contained in e parcel. A single order form, mainly in print, may be inclosed with fourth25 matter mailed at the rates for that class without affecting its assification. Miscellaneous printed matter may be inclosed in parcels of fourthass matter or in parcels of books weighing more than four pounds mailed at the parcel post rates of postage. Letters Attached to Parcels of Fourth-Class Mail When the sender desires that a parcel of fourth-class matter on which the postage is fully prepaid, with stamps affixed, at the rate for that class, be accompanied with a communication which is not a permissible inclosure at the fourth-class rate, the communication may be placed in an envelope, and after the full amount of postage at the first-class rate is affixed to the envelope it may be tied to or otherwise securely attached to the outside of the parcel in such manner as to prevent its separation therefrom and not to interfere with the address on the parcel. The envelope shall be addressed to correspond with the address on the parcel. Parcels to which such communications are attached will be treated as fourth-class mail. Any strong envelope which can be securely attached to the outside of the parcel in such manner as will prevent its separation there from and not interfere with the address on the parcel may be used. A tag envelope fastened with strong twine would serve this purpose very well. The envelope should always be placed under the twine with which the parcel is tied, thus lessening the chances of its becoming torn from the parcel while in transit. The envelope must be addressed to correspond with the address on the parcel, so that in case of their becoming separated while in transit both may be delivered. Stamps sufficient to Sufficient stamps to prepay the postage at the first-class rate on the communication must be affixed to the envelope. prepay postage at the fourth-class rate on the parcel must be affixed to the wrapper of the parcel. Parcels Containing Two or More Classes of Mail Matter A parcel containing two or more classes of mail matter is chargeable with postage at the rate applicable to the highest class of matter inclosed. A parcel composed of two articles, one being matter of the third class and the other matter of the fourth class, is chargeable with postage at the fourth-class rate when such postage is equal to or greater than that which would be chargeable if the third-class rate were applicable. However, when the postage on a parcel containing both third- and fourth-class matter amounts to more at the third-class than at the fourth-class rate, owing to the graduated zone rates, the parcel must be charged with postage at the third-class rate-one cent for each two ounces or fraction of two ounces. Parcels containing second-class matter and fourth-class matter are subject to the highest rate as explained in the preceding paragraph, |
