"Western Union Rates for Telegrams Cables and Money Orders," June 1930. The eight-page booklet has a white paper cover with the title at the top in black.

All of the latter is also on the back. Inside are prices for full rate telegrams; day and night letters; Canada and Mexico deliveries; rates from Los Angeles locations; a time chart for national and local cable users; a listing of Western Union offices in Los Angeles; and rates for money orders. At the end are advertisements for the company's messengers, time services, and more. With a small dent, yellowing of the paper, and a small stain, the artifact is in good condition.
