Corporation of the Public
in Handling Christmas
Mail

! The establishment of the parcel
post has given a wonderful i'm
petus to the use of the mails as a
means of distributing Christmas
gifts, and in view of the increased
weight limit. reduced postage rates
and other extensions of the service
during the past year, it is antici-
pated that the amount of mail dur
ing the approaching holiday sea-
son will exceed all previous rec
ords.
In order that the Christmas
mail may be handled promptly
and satisfactorily, it is. essential
that the public cooperate with the
postal service to the fullest extent.
by observing the following simple
rules
Prepay postage fully on all par
GELS and papers.
All parcels should be addressed
fully and plainly. the, address on
the lower right-hand corner, the
name of the sender on the upper
left-hand corner. No parcels will
be accepted for mailing unless they
have the name of the sender on
them
Pack articles securely, use
heavy paper and strong string, but
do not seal them, as it subjects
them to postage at the letter rates,
Mail your parcels early; they
may be marked "Do not open until
Christmas.
Written inscriptions such as
Merry Christmas, -" Happy New
York. With Best Wishes" and
numbers, names or letters for pur-
pose of description, are permissible
additions to fourth-class (parcel
post) mail.
Books may bear simply dedica-
tory inscriptions not OF a per-
sonal nature, other written addi-
tions subject parcels to letter post
age.
