Postage Due, Addressee Not Local
This letter was sent from the main Post Office in St. Louis, Missouri to a small village nearby (Florissant, later a suburb).
This routing caused the letter to lose its ’local’ status. Because of the forwarding the letter no longer qualified for the special 2 cent ’local’ war rate.
Therefore, it was assessed one cent postage due. The stamp is cancelled by an International machine of St. Louis, Mo, that shows a slogan killer advertising the 3rd Liberty Loan drive of the United States in the First World War.
