Example of a Commercial "Local" 1f Postcard. |
||||||||
This is an example of a 1f imprinted postcard used commercially. Even if the translation was not provided you would guess that the purpose was to collect a meter reading. The card was sent by the Financial Department of Manchzhur Electric based in Harbin. | |||||||||
The address reads
Street Novogoradnaya,
house # 64 |
|||||||||
The card reads If your electricity meter looks like this (top picture), write down the digits where the arrows are pointed to. If your electricity meter is digital (bottom picture), write down the numbers into this table. If you only see half of the digit, put down the smaller one (round down) Electricity meter box # . . . . . . . . . . Mr . . . . . . . . Today our representative visited your home for a meter reading and could not obtain the meter reading because no one was home to open the door. We are requesting that take a look at your electric meter and write down the meter reading using the instructions table on the left. In the event that you do not respond back to us with this information, the bill for this month will be calculated presumably and then starting next month after a successful inspection we will recalculate using the actual readings.
