U. S. AND GERMANY RENEW MONEY ORDER EXCHANGE
Under arrangements completed by the two governments, beginning November 1st, there again will be an exchange of money orders by the postal systems of the United States and Germany, according to announcement received this week by Postmaster Geo. W. Fried.
It has been impossible since the war to send money orders from the United States to Germany, much as this has been desired by people in this country who have relatives in Germany.
The new arrangement also provides that international reply coupons, costing 11 cents each, may be purchased at the Luverne postoffice and sent to correspondents in Germany, where they may be exchanged by the recipient for postage stamps with which to prepay postage on mail destined for the United States.
The same money order rates will prevail as those to other countries, and the exchange on the money orders will be figured at the exchange rate in effect on the day the money order advice is received at the Cologne exchange office.
Donations to the Rock County Historical Society can be sent to the Rock County Historical Society, P.O. Box 741, Luverne, MN 56156.
