Feb. 27th, 1964. One month before the great Alaskan earthquake.

That cover traveled the 1300 miles from AK to WA in only two days; it sat another 3 days at the post office waiting for the postage due payment of 8 cents!

The Daily Market Record was a local newspaper for the grain exchange from 1880-1984. Then and now, Minneapolis is a major center for milling grains and the Daily Market Record was sort of a Wall Street Journal concerning grains and other agricultural produce. George D. Rogers was its publisher.

I wonder what Mrs Rogers was sending him that required the "Deliver only to addressee" and "Return receipt demanded" messages?
