207 cover 96 image1908 ½c black brown, unique proper transient newspaper rate single use during the period of issue, tied by manuscript cancellation on a hand-made newspaper wrapper fashioned from a folded Hotel Victoria, Carman, Manitoba advertising envelope, addressed to Winnipeg, paying the ½¢ per ounce transient newspaper rate, no c.d.s., as expected for third-class mail, believed to be the only recorded of this stamp paying this rate in period, an important exhibition piece, ex McNaught.

The ½¢ denomination fulfilled only one postal rate during the life of the Quebec Tercentenary issue: the ½¢ per ounce rate for individually mailed transient newspapers. The former "To Every Householder" rate had increased to 1c in 1901, while the transient newspaper rate itself was abolished on 19 May 1909, leaving the ½¢ Quebec stamp with a postal life of barely ten months. By 1908, almost all newspapers travelled under the cheaper bulk mailing rates at 1c per pound. (Image 1) (Image 2) (Image 3)
