UNITED STATES POST OFFICE.

10 newspapers:
The Post Office alweys needs your
assistance, but in one particular,
just at this time.
During the holiday season large
quantities of very small envelopes
and cards are put into the mails with
the result that all postal work is
very much retarded and mail dis
figured and mutilated.
This is not generally known to the
public and we want you to help us
do little educating. The minimum
size of cards and envelopes should
not be below "a and inches for
the following reasons:
1. Addresses will be obliterated
by cancellation mark.
2. Too small to be run through
facing table, necessitating three
extra landings with the consequent
delay not only to this but to other
mail.
g. Delay in cancellation because
of awkwardness in putting through
machines.
4. Delay through difficulty in
sorting.
5. Liability to loss or damage as
small sizes DO not Ill letter packages
and cannot be tied securely.
These odd and diminutive sized |
pieces of stationery have come into |
use in the past few years and only |
appear now in any quantities at |
Christmas time when the whole |
postal institution is keyed up to top |
speed and trying to keey on top OF
he load.
We will greatly appreciate, there
