The reason for the existence of these distinctive labels is not known. It is possible that the label was placed on the uppermost in a bundle of circulars going in the same direction from Lockport. The label on this cover shows a "34" in pencil on the label. That may have indicated the number of circulars in that bundle. The "30" written below may have been the number remaining after four were delivered at an intermediate post office.
