Why can we not have as good
express service as mail? A lady
in town shipped a small package
by express to New York on June
%, 1t had not arrived on July
2sth-more than a month after
leaving here. On July Both the
writer received a letter that was
mailed in Osnabrueck, Germany
on July 20th-only ten days be-

panies shall either handle our
shipments as quickly, safely and
cheaply as our letters, or get
OUT OF business.
