Parcel Post Business in North
Topeka Shows Big Increase.
Kaw Valley Changers Kick ON
Telephone Service.

The rapid increase in the parcel
post business of the North Topeka
uostoffice is a splendid example of the
growth of this newly organized de-
partment during the past year
The comparison of the business
during the first two weeks of October,
1918. and the first two weeks of April.
1914, shows big increase in business
and efficiency of this department
The number of parcels mailed dur
ing the first two weeks of October was
217. During the first two weeks OF
April sos packages were mailed. me
postage on those mailed in OCTOBER
amounted to $2O.36 and the postage
on those mailed between April ana
postage for the first half of April was
s.0SO5 and for the first half OF Octo-
Der the average postage was $-OSSo.
This show that while there was more
business done by the department our
ing the first half of April than the
frs half of October, the rate IS
steadily growing much lower.
The average weight OF parcels sent
out last October was 1 pound and
ounces each. The average weight Tor
-April was pounds and ounces each.
~ The number of parcels delivered
from the North side office during the
first two weeks of last October was
the first two weeks of this month to-
tailed 1851. The total packages han
died between October 1 and Is wai
S6S. The number handled between
April 1 and Is was 1856.
During the month of october, 1913
the largest package handled In NORTH
Topeka weighed 16 pounds. The larg-
est handled during the first half Of
April was SO pounds.
