and receive an increased rate of charge, to be notified by some notice affixed
in legible characters in some public and conspicuous part of the office,
warehouse, or other receiving house where such parcels or packages are
received by them for the purpose of conveyance, stating the increased rates of
charge required to be paid over and above the ordinary rate of carriage as a
