BIG HOLIDAY
BUSINESS BY
PARGELPOST
Local Office Handled Tremendous
Business Under New System
Express Company Felt COmpe.
tition Though Business for Ral-
ance Of Year Reported 60 Have
Been Satisfactory.

Owen Williams, general agent for
Wells Fargo Express Company, stated
yesterday that even though Uncle
Sam s parcel post service had seriously
affected the company's business, espe-
eially in handling small packages, there
was steady increase in the total bust.
ness transacted byxthe express company
every month during 1913 as compared
with last year
The public SIN gives the express com
pany the preference in handling small
packages representing high values; he
said. The interstate commerce com
mission has ordered a general reduction
Of all express rates, to take effect Feb
ruary /, 1914, the new schedule to be
practically the same as the parcel post
rate in all classes. Nevertheless Mr..
Williams believes that Wells Fargo will
continue TO hold its parcel business in
competition with the, government serv-
ice.
Postmaster Joseph q. Pratt stated
yesterday that since the parcel post
regulations went into effect there have
been thousands of packages over four
pounds in weight sent by mail which
formerly would have gone by express.
The postonice force has handled the
holiday traffic rapidly aud efficiently.
In a general way, says Postmaster
Pratt, the postal business for 1913 has
far exceeded that OF any other year.
There have been increased receipts in
every branch of the service. The par
eel posi- division has increased many
timer over what IL was before in weight
and number Of packages transported
under thinl-class rates. The number Of
small packages under four pounds has
also increased.
This branch Of the service has re-
eeived q great deal Of free advertising
in the newspapers Of the country, and
the public has a better understanding
Of what the government IL ready to
do. Hence the remarkable development
Of this branch Of the service, according
TO Postmaster Pratt. IE5,
