CAMPBELL SOUP LABELS AND POSTAGE STAMPS - Thank you for your continuing support of two ACW projects: Postage stamps and Campbell’s soup labels. The requirements for stamps have been changed: They no longer have to have 1/4” margin of envelope around them; simply tear most of the envelope away, being careful not to tear the stamp. The soup labels have to be complete and in one piece; that is, with no staples or Scotch tape.
