Atlanta Becoming Mail
Order Center of South,
Declares Postmaster
Merchants Who Advertise il
Newspapers and Parcel Post
Given Credit.

According to Postmaster Hugh Ne
hee, Atlanta rapidly is becoming the
mail order center of the entire South
through the aid Of newspaper adver-
Using and the parcel post.
After careful observation. I have
found that it is the merchants of At
lanta who advertise in the daily pa
pers who are making a great success
Of the parcel post The stores which
do not advertise seldom send pack
ages by this method. But the others
are doing a rushing business, and At
lanta is fast becoming the big mail or
der center of the South
Il know a certain store which ad-
Vertised heavily in the papers and sent
out 1000 samples of linen cloth to pros
pectiVe customers in the country dis
tricts. His return within the first two
weeks was $500 worth of business.
There is a certain drug store in this
city which sends out an enormous
amount Of parcel post packages each
day, and that because they are heavy
advertisers in the daily papers and the
country people take advantage of this
system to get their sundries at the
lower city prices"

CHANGES IN PARCEL POST
Limit In Weight to Be Increased
 to Twenty Pounds

Several important changes in the parcel post system will go into ef- feet August 15. They include an increase from II pounds to 20 pounds in the medium weight of parcels; a material reduction in the postage rates in the first and sec and zones, and the abandonment of the parcel post map as means for computing rates and the substi- tuition for it Of rate chart indi- vidualized to every postoffice in the United States. The plans oontem- plate the purchase of large num- Der of automobiles 10 be used ex- clusively for the delivery Of parcel post mail.
 While, for the present. the maxi mum weight limit of 20 pounds and the reduction in rates will apply only to the first and second zones, from any given postoffice-a dist ance of about 150 miles the lat est changes directed constitute the first long step toward a universal extension of the system and a gen. eral reduction in the rates of post age on parcel matter
