Packages of money are receipted for in the usual way. They are delivered only to the legal consignee, unless a second person should appear with an order, amounting to a power of attorney, and which the company cannot reject.
MONEY ORDERS
The foregoing by no means limits the express company's usefulness or field of opportunities.
Express companies issue money orders much as does the Post Office
Department.
As with the post office, the fees for orders vary, but no order is issued for more than fifty dollars.
If you want to send such an order, the express company will furnish the proper blank for you to fill out.
On this form must be written out very plainly the name and address of the person to whom the order is to be sent, with the amount, in words and in figures.
On receiving the money the express agent gives to his customer two papers; one is the company's receipt for the money, the other is the order itself.
The order instructs the agent at the point to which it is to be sent to pay the sum named to the person named.
To complete the order the sender should sign his name in a place indicated for the purpose on the back of the paper.
