DEFINITION
Commercial Papers comprise all papers and all documents, wholly or partly written or drawn, not having the character of current and personal corres- pondence.
MAKE-UP
Packets of commercial papers should be clearly marked in the upper left-hand corner COMMERCIAL PAPERS. They are subject to examination in the post, and must be made up in such a way that they can be easily examined. They may be placed in a wrapper, upon a roller, between boards, in an open case, or in an unclosed envelope furnished with a blunt fastening easy to raise and replace; or they may be secured with a string easy to untie.
In view of the risk of other packets being entrap- ped when open covers are used, posters are reminded that embarrassing packets generally are prohibited from the post and are recommended to use the type of cover described on page 30.
In order to secure the return of a packet which cannot be delivered, the name and address of the sender should be printed or written outside.
