SMALL SIZED CARDS
AND ENVELOPES

To Newspapers:
The post office always needs your
assistance, but in one particular es-
pccially. 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 ~ by inches for the
following reasons:
1. Address will be obliterated by
cancellation mark.
2. Too small to run through facing
table, necessitating three extra han
dlings with consequent delay not on
Iy to this but other mail.
3. Delay in cancellation because
of awkwardness in putting through
cancelling machine
4. Delay through difficulty in
sorting.
5. Liability to loss or damage as
small sizes do not fit 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 in any quantities at Christ
mas time when the whole postal in
stitution is keyed up to top speed and
trying to keep on top of the load.
We will greatly appreciate, there
fore your cooperation in helping us
to get the public to use stationery of
the proper size in order that the han
ding of mail may be expedited.
