The parcel post system is one year
old. Some idea of the competition
it has given the express companies
may be formed when it is known that
the Milwaukee postotfce alone last
wear shipped out l,S0O,000 packages
and received 100000 packages foT
local delivery. The same conditions
prevailed throughout the country.
With the new rates going into effect
the parcel post competition with the
express companies will be materially
increased, SO that the business of the
postal service in this respect prob
ably will be doubled in 1914.
