Air-Letters To Usa

Extension of Cheap Service

ALTHOUGH the airmail rate to America from Australia remains at 2/6 per half ounce (airmail from America to Australasia and South Pacific Islands is only 25 cents) an extension of the air-letter service has now been made to include North American and United States possessions.

Air-letters can be purchased at any post-office in Australia for 7d. They con sist of a single sheet of thin paper which when folded, has a space for the address.

Air-letters, although not altogether ele gant, will be a cheap and quick method of trans-Pacific communication.

American possessions where the air letters may now be sent are: Guam, Hawaii, the Panama Canal zone, Porto Rico, and Virgin Islands.
