MONEY ORDER BLANKS STOLEN FROM MULGA, JEFFERSON COUNTY

Postmaster Clem T. Fitzpatrick Wednesday morning received official notification that blank money orders forms for use of the post office at Mulga, Jefferson county, Alabama, had been stolen.

These forms are number 4,404 to 4,408, inclusive, and persons dealing in money orders are cautioned and advised to look at the number of the money orders received by them.

Anyone dishonestly inclined might realize $500 on them but it is stated at the city post office that it is seldom money orders are made out up to the amount of $100 by anyone forgin them. The amounts are smaller and oftentimes cents are added to the dollars. But it depends on the person who is to be victimized as to the sum written on such forged orders.   The Montgomery Advertiser, March 9, 1916 - Transcribed by C. Anthony.
