Christmas Mail Breaks
Record at Post Office

The largest volume of first class
mail and parcel post in the history
of the St. JohnSbury post office was
handled last week by the local force
assisted by half a dozen extra hands
and an extra team. Postmaster
Gleason says that yle people took
very kindly to the suggestion that
they mail their packages early and
by following this advice they greatly
facilitated the rapid handling of the
outgoing mail. The volume of pos
tai cards and parcel post was unus-
ually heavy and Assistant Postmaster
Kellogg had charge of the parcel post
packages and their distribution.
Among the extra employees secured
for the holiday rush was Howard
Goss, an ex-ralwaY mail clerk. He
rendered very efficient service in as
sisting the regular force in des-
patching the outgning mails and his
knowledge of the runs" was very
helpful at this time. All the force
from the small boys who helped to
the oldest in the ser;:ce worked hard
and by so doinng gave everybody
prompt attention. While no figures
for the receipts of the year are now
published it is anticipated that the
year 1920 will show the largest busl-
ness in the history of the office.
