SWANSON AND MONTAGUE
WORKED FOR NEW ORDER
In securing the North Carolina cir
culars for distribution from the local
terminal, the justice of Richmond's
claim was strongly urged by Senator
swanson, member of the Post office and
Post Roads Committee of the Senate
and by Congressman Montague. both of
whom were untiring in their efforts on
behalf Of the Richmond terminal. Chief
Clerk Elan also laborcd strenuously
but his efforts had Ia be along official
lines. and 1t was with great relief that
he saw the work taken up by the
Chamber of Commerce and the Bust
ness Mems Club.
Richmond is claimed as the logical
point for distribution of circulars
through North Carolina, as it has two
trunk lines, and numerous side lines
travcrsnE and covering the whole
State of North Carolina. Handling cir
cular matter from Richmond not only
prevents double hauling. but also pro-
vents delay. The matter is received in
Richmond and sent on it's way before
the bulk reaches Greensboro.
