Additional Details:
This instructional postcard features the Mailomat, a coin-operated U.S. mailbox that prints postage for various mail types. Invented by Pitney-Bowes Postage Meter Co. of Stamford, Conn., it was adapted for war production to facilitate public mail use. The front shows a woman using the machine and a postal worker collecting mail. The card promotes a 'stampless' postal service.
