card indicate that this cover was mailed by the publisher. The 1c franking
is for Third Class "printed circular" rate with maximum weight of 1 pound.
Although the Second Class rate is also 1c, it is only for 4 ounces weight
and must be mailed by someone other than the publisher (like those with

Either this rule was not followed to the tee or an inspection was made
prior to dispatch, then sealed by postal authorities. |
