GETTING READY FOR
THE CHRISTMAS RUSH
AT THE POST OFFICE

John Mcmillan, the Boise postmas-
ter. is getting ready to meet his
Christmas troubles and the surplus of
mail that will be running through this
office within the next few weeks.
He warns the patrons of the office
that every package sent through the
mails should be properly wrapped and
that it should be in such a condition
that it will not be broken when 1t
reaches it's destination. He does not
approve of shoe boxes or others made
Of pasteboard because of the ease
with which they are broken VIXEN they
pass through a number of hands dur
ing the Christmas rush.
Christmas stamps should never be
placed on the front of the package,
the postmaster says, but may be used
if they are placed somewhere on the
rear of the parcel. He also says that
the postmaster cannot tell where a
package should be sent unless the ad-
dress is on the bundle. During the
rush it often happens that the sender
fails to write the address on the pack
age and thinks that he has done
enough If he merely places the stamp
where 1t belongs.
The name and address of the sender
should always be written in the upper
left hand corner of the package In
case the person is not found or any
thing happens to the package. the de-
partment will then be able to return
it to the sender without loss. The
office here has found several cases
where the receiver Of the package
could not be found and the bundle
could not be returned to its owner be
cause Of the lack Of address or any
thing that would tell the authorities
who sent 1t.
In wrapping package. the post
master also condemns thread and tbs.
sue paper and urges all of his patrons
to use heavy wrapping paper and the
| strongest cord. He thinks that q
package should be securely wrapped
that there would be no question but
I! that 1t would reach its destination ir
safety.
