STOP!

Look
Listen!
Also think,
Here's a situation.
Wrap we'll your gifts.
Also direct them properly.
Humanity's slovenliness lis incon-
ceivable.
The carelessness with mail is
hardly to be believed.
People spend hours buying gifts,
then pack them so that they are
never delivered.
Can you realize that one-fourth the
Christmas gifts mailed last year
found their way TO the dead-letter
office.
These gifts representing one-fourth
of the Christmas reminders mailed
were either directed wrong, contained
forbidden matter, were put in the
wrong class or so poorly wrapped
that they got loose.
Many gifts to persons in foreign
countries were never shipped because
the formality of consulting the Gus
toms department had been over
looked.
Any and all of these mistakes
might have been rectified had the
sender's name and address been
placed upon the parcel.
