IMPERIAL AND FOREIGN POST
Method of Address
99
Delay to correspondence and mistakes in delivery are due in the main to the use of incorrect or incom- plete postal addresses. It is therefore recommended that the full address should be typed or legibly written in the lower part of the front of the envelope, with a clear margin above (not less than 1 inches deep) for the postage stamps and postmarks, leaving the left- hand bottom corner blank.
EXAMPLES
The address should include in all cases :
1. Name of addressee;
2. Number of house (if the house does not bear a number, the name of the house). In the case of flats, chambers and suites of offices, the number of the flat, or of the floor on which it is situated, or both, as well as the name or number of the block of which the premises form part, should be included;
3.
4.
5.

Name of place (if it is not known that there is a post office there, the name of the nearest known post office should be added);
The initials or number of the postal district, if known;
Name of province, state, department, and so on ; Name of Dominion, Colony or foreign country. For example:
