Early letter sent from Scott Expedition.

It is addressed to Conrad Fry of Fry's chocolate.

Fry of Fry's chocolate had been renamed several times and we are been told that the chocolate company had been promoting stamp collecting among youth in the 40's by inserting stamps or picture of different country and allow consumer to collect and identity them. We are proud to have a senior member who was the winner of the identity contest when he was 9 and he got free supply of Fryof Fry's chocolate for life, but the company does not exist today after merge with larger firm.

Collector's Life

New Issue

Date of issue: 16 March 2017

First Sunday of the month as usual, we'll have our monthly gathering/meeting. The gathering always starts off with the get-together session where members share, exchange, buy and sell their collection. If you miss today's gathering, mark the first Sunday of every month on your calendar, unless it is announced that the gathering is canceled or postpone. It is a fun activity, as you may learn something new. We got few elder members, they are very knowledgeable on philately and history of course. Some picture old postcard is verified by them, as some of the view or building printed on the old postcard can't be found today.
