Converted /Nacftines
Nearly 10,000 postage vending
niachines, including those at the
Lynbrook, Malverne, and East
Rockaway Post Offices, will be
converted over the next three
months to reflect the new postage
rates. Postmaster A1 Hart said
today.
New Postage rates to into ef-fect
January 7, 1968, the Post-master
noted. The new rates
raise First Class postage to 6
cents an ounce. Air Mail to 10
cents an ounce, and Postal
Cards to 5 cents.
The job of converting the
thousands of vending machines
found in Post Office lobbies from
coast to coast is so massive that
it will take several months to
corpplete, the Postmaster said.
Five different types of machines
are involved, he noted.
Most of the machines now
provide 5-cent and 4-cent stamps
for a nickel, quarter, or dime.
After the conversion, the
machines will provide 5~centand
6-cent stamps. A new model
will offer 1-cent, 5-cent, and
6-cents stamps.
The Postmaster said that the
vending machines located in the
lobbies of Post Offices are not
to be confused with commercial
stamp vending devices found in
many stores. Such commercial
machines provide a margin for
profit and are not controlled by
the Post Office Department, he
said.
"Post Office vending machines
can be a big convenience to postal
patrons," Mr. Hart said. "The
devices permit mailers to ignore
waiting lines at stamps -sales
windows or to buy stamps to mail
letters after the windows have
closed."
