TRANSIT POSTMARK COLLECTOR Volume 61, No. 2

Will Keller continues his three part series on two Iowa Highway Post Offices operating 1950-1969. This installment is devoted to Austin (Minn.) & Des Moines (Iowa).

In "News from the Cities," David Gentry writes about three 3rd Avenue New York City R.P.O. covers. It is possible that all three bear origin markings of the street car R.P.O.

There is Society news, a mail sale and much more.
