STAMP ADVERTISING
P. AND T. SECRETARY SEES DIFFICULTIES Special to THE SUN WELLINGTON, Today. “The proper time to raise such a matter would be when a general reissue of stamps is imminent,” said Mr. F. McNamara, secretary of the Post and Telegraph Department today, when a suggestion was put before him that New Zealand should recommence advertising on her stamp issue. “Such a time, however, may not be very distant,” continued Mr. McNamara. As soon as a stamp shows signs of wear, we should re-issue the denominations in common use—say from Id to Is. There are certain difficulties in the way of a New Zealand stamp containing a scene—the selection of suitable subjects, and the arranging of these so that they will reduce well. The drawing of a stamp is about 6 inches by 8 inches, and the problem is to get it designed so that when it is reduced nothing will be lost. The Dunedin Exhibition stamp suffered in this way, the background being affected. In some countries, also, it is not considered the proper thing to advertise upon stamps.”
