Schmalz, 29th Regimental Band, 1st Composite Regiment, Third Brigade of Infantry, Quebec City, the adhesive tied by Berlin c.d.s. and bold blue circular "R" registration handstamp, the reverse with Toronto & Sarnia M.C. railway transit (18 Jul), Montreal split-ring (19 Jul) and Quebec receiver (20 Jul); some light overall wear, nevertheless a desirable single-franking from the third say of use, with an exceptional contemporary connection to the celebrations.

306 cover 102 image1908 (November 25), 15c orange paying the registered preferential rate to the United States, on an International Correspondence Schools cover, large commercial envelope from Montreal to Sherman, Texas, franked with a single 15c Tercentenary tied by Montreal c.d.s., paying the 10c double-weight preferential letter rate plus 5c registration fee, with International Correspondence Schools address label on front and further Montreal registration markings, stamp faulty, and some handling wear typical for these oversized covers, nevertheless a rare and highly desirable commercial single-franking, one of only a handful of examples recorded.

The 15c was the smallest printing of the Quebec Tercentenary set and saw comparatively little genuine postal use. It did not correspond neatly to a common single rate, except as illustrated with this cover, or the triple 5c U.P.U. rate. Surviving non-philatelic usages are consequently scarce, particularly as single frankings. When genuinely used, the denomination was most often found in combination with other values to make up higher rates, making commercial solo uses such as this especially desirable.
