    1894: 1 g. blue, a used example on 1908 cover to Harar tied by bilingual "Adis Abeba" cds in green (July 24) with information strike alongside. Reverse with "Harrar / Postes" cds in blue (Aug 2). File fold away from adhesive, but an interesting late usage of this adhesive, the private Ethiopian Postal service went bankrupt in late 1907. The French Posts experts were called in to reorganise the Postal system and Ethiopia gained UPU membership (Nov 1, 1908).
