A new postage stamp of 13-cent denomination was issued January 10, 1919, and is described as follows: This stamp bears the head of Franklin in profile, from Houdon's bust, looking to the left, and is printed in light green ink. It is of the same shape (a rectangle on end) and size (about 7/8 by 3/4 inch) as the other ordinary stamps, series of 1912. The border design is the same as that of the other denominations of the current issue above 7-cent. The new stamp was issued primarily for use in prepaying a single rate of letter postage and special-delivery fee, or for postage and registry fee, and was also available to the amount of its value for other purposes for which ordinary postage stamps are used.
