lists he owns - , controls or rents.
To assist patrons, the Post
Office Department has pub

You Can Curb Pandering Ad

how the law works, the pocket-
size leaflet contains a form
letter one can use when sending
his complaint to the post office.
The pamphlet explains that
when a patron receives an ad
vertisement which is,, in his
opinion, pandering, he must
send the ad, its envelope and
the form letter, or one which
includes Its language, to his
post office' with the words,
“Request for prohibitory
