effected. 1t was likewise found that
the handling of mails at but the one
center made it possible to develop
greater efficiency. Mistakes were de-
creased until complaints fell off 80 per
cent.
The postal service is virtually self
supporting, and therefore, when saw
ings are effected, it becomes possible
to give the people additional service.
The administration of the Washington
office having saved certain money
through its reforms exerted itself in
working out schemes that would mean
extra accommodations to the public.
Making New Business
There was the matter of listing the
farmers of the community, the pro-
duce they had for sale. and the prices
they wanted for 1t. Washington was
the first office to perform this serv-
ice. BY statements printed in news
papers and farm journals 1t was an
nounced that the post office would
make up such lists. Farmers were
asked to send in their names, with
itemized lists of their prices and pro-
duce. Great numbers of them did so.
These lists were printed and made
available to purchasers, and the re-
suit was an immediate increase in the
volume of business thus transacted
directly between the producer and the
consumer. Before these lists were
issued the Washington post Office was
handling 1875 such parcel post pack
ages a day. Soon this had been in
creased to 500 packages. There was
built in the post office great ice box
with 500 cubic feet of space for stor-
ing perishable goods that could not
be delivered Immediately.
But a no less important opportunity
was given in developing parcel post
business through the local merchants.
The Washington Office put one man
out among the merchants and let him
work constantly in explaining to them
the possibilities of using this service
Other clerks were required to fill in
spare time .eXpounding the detail
The post office went after parcel post

Since Milton and Sargent Aborn. gem

pie to stop knitting during the perform

after the first number an air from
Gretry's "Cephale ct Procris" and after

there is and one which is little short OF
