HELP POSTAL. [. CLERKS lei :. y.
MAIL PRESENTS NOW
MUCH OF HOLIDAY MAIL CON
GESTlON MAY BE RELIEVED BY
SENDERS OF GIFTS.

About this time each year postal au-
thorities launch campaign for the
early mailing of Christmas presents.
This is done in an effort to relieve
the congestion which always occurs
just before the holidays. 1t is almost
impossible for the postal clerks to
handle the great mass of parcels and
packages that are poured in upon
them during the last few days before
the holidays begin.
In an effort to relieve this condition,
postal authorities urge the early mail
ing Of Christmas presents. Those who
desire to do so may write upon the
package or parcel do not open until
Christmas If the senders of pres
ents would heed the request of author.
tiles the congestion of the mails would
be relieved
Senders of packages and parcels are
also reminded of the fact that careful
packing and wrapping is absolutely es
sential at this time more than at any
other during the year All packages
should be carefully wrapped and tied
and plainly addressed Scores of
Christmas presents are lost each year
because they are either poorly wrap
ped or tied.
But the Christmas season is upon
us, and those who are planning to
send presents through the mail are
being urged to 'Do 1t Now"
