TELEGRAPHING MONEY
You can telegraph money with as much safety as you can send it through a bank.
In handling money in this way, the telegraph company does not act as a banker but as a carrier.
Telegraph money orders are a great convenience, when one wants to send cash to a distant point in a hurry.
Country telegraph offices do not, as a rule, transmit money; that function is left to the offices in the larger centers.
THE METHOD
One wishing to "wire money" will find at the telegraph office suitable blanks; they are furnished gratis.
On lines provided for the purpose and properly indicated, as in a postal order form, write the name and address of the person to receive the money, with the amount.
This paper, properly signed, is handed to the clerk with the money to be sent and the fee for transmission.
The fee is double that charged for an ordinary message of the same length.
