Postmaster Bradley would be glad
to have patrons facilitate the mailing
of Christmas Parcels by mailing them
early, wrapping them securely and-4ad-
dressing them plainly. Parcels may be
marked "Not to be opened until
Christmas" or with similar directions.
This inscription with early shipment
insures the timeliness OF Christmas
gifts, whereas the practice Of mailing
packages late in hope that they will
reach their destination on Christmas
day is likely to defeat its own object
through unavoidable delay due to
congestion of the mails. The name
and address of the sender is required
on Parcel Post mail and should be
written in the upper left hand corner
on the address side .lof the. package.
The name and address of the, ad-
dressee should be written in the lower
light hand corner, leaving space in the
upper right corner to Iaffix stamps.
