THE RETURNED NAIL.
(From the Omaha Bee.)

(From the Omaha Bee.)
The government has just realized
more than $4,000 proceeds from the
sale of valuables found in mail re-
turned to the dead letter office, which
means some heavy individual losses.
This is all because of the simple care
lessness of writer's in failing to place
their name and address in the upper
left hand corner of the envelope or
wrapper, as they are instructed to do.
1t stands to reason that if the post
office department has so much diff
Guilty in securing proper complain"
with established customs, it will con
tinue to encounter added trouble with
the multiplying complications of the
system, such, for instance, as parcel
post. All of which emphasizes the fact
that profitable returns would surely
follow a reasonable amount of judici-
Gus advertising in connection with tits
services to the public for price. The
postoffice department is gigantic
business institution and is just as much
in need of advertising as another
large commercial enterprise. The
failure to take advantage of modern
business methods Is one of the weak
nesses in government managed indus
tries. yet a weakness that might cas-
lily be cured. nN
