2 Annuity Notes Plan Annut " SalePlan on Land Agent's Pay
In the case of Stamp-business, the distribution of Stamps,
the rate of profit taking it article by article reckoning it at so much for cash transaction
is — in the instance <add>case of the Sub Distributor — the Officer
whose dealings are with individual customers</add> is still lower, much lower than in the business
of the Post Office. Upon all the whole of this transactions.
great and small together his rate of profit is
2 1/2 per Cent equal to one a penny in forty upon the his
receipts. This, upon the twopenny stamps for receipts
is not as in the Penny Post business
a tenth of a penny for every transaction, but
the fourth part half onl only of that small fraction —
the fortieth part of two-pence — the tenth part
of an halfpenny. True it is, that the twopenny
stamp is the least of all the stamps
upon Receipts, which in general the greater
part of them, are less than for less money the another species
of stamps: but true it also is, on the other
hand, that of all species of stamps that on
receipts is the species of which the greatest
number is voided, and that of all species
of stamps on receipts, the twopenny stamp
is that of which the greatest number is voided:
more I should expect to find than of all the
other stamps in Receipts put together: and in London among
the shops at which Stamps are sold, in
by far the greater number no other Stamps
are sold than but Stamps on receipts. The shops
at which Stamps of all sorts are to be had are few
indeed.
