最近從US來的明信片都貼著一口鐘,好奇心驅使,找了一下…
不過我還是看不懂這東西為什麼會讓郵務更為便利…

NATION GETS SNEAK PEEK OF THE FOREVER STAMP
THE FOREVER STAMP
WASHINGTON, D.C. — You've heard about it. You've read about it. Now see
it for the first time. It's the Postal Service's newest consumer innovation —
the Forever stamp. The stamp was previewed today at the National Postal
Forum, the premier trade show for advertising, marketing and mailing
executives. Featuring
the Liberty Bell image and the word "forever," the
stamp will be good for mailing one-ounce First-Class letters anytime in the
future — regardless of price changes. The Forever stamp goes on sale April
12 at 41 cents. Customers can begin using the stamp when postage changes May
14.
"Who said nothing lasts forever?" remarked Postmaster General and Chief
Executive Officer John E. Potter in unveiling the image here at the National
Postal Forum. "The Forever stamp is a consumer innovation guaranteed to
deliver unprecedented convenience and value to our customers. It's good
forever."
Potter said the Liberty Bell was selected because it resonates as one of
the nation's most prominent and recognizable symbols associated with American
independence.
Research has shown that customers prefer the Forever stamp for the
convenience it offers by easing the transition for mailing letters when
prices change. When postage changes in the future, it will reduce the need to
buy one- and two-cent stamps.
