The Money Order Business

The money order business for the past six months at the Ann Arbor postoffice has been considerably in excess of former periods, the total amount being $204,371.13. There were 8,886 orders issued, amounting to $49,143.07; and 18,266 orders paid, amounting to $155,228.06.

To obtain the entire sum of the business transacted, the receipts at the stamp window, $27,784.21, should be added to the money order transactions of $204,371.13, making a grand total of $232,155.34 for six months. The same ratio of business for the next six months would show an aggregate of nearly a half million of dollars for the year. The summer months, however, will not make an equal showing.
