To determine the postage for packages of printed matter weighing over 6 pounds 9 ounces addressed to countries admitting them (see Chart 1, Table II), compute the rate for the pounds alone at 32 cents per pound. Then if there are no remaining ounces, add 2 cents; if there are remaining ounces, determine the rate for them from the table and add to the rate for the pounds. For example, if a package weighs 21 pounds, compute the rate at 32 cents and add 2 cents, finding the rate to be $6.74. If a package weighs 21 pounds 5 ounces, compute the rate for 21 pounds at 32 cents ($6.72) and add the rate for the ounces (14 cents), finding the rate to be $6.86.
