Ed and the result was that these late | packages were left in the office for a l iew days and did not get to the re- l .ipient until after the holidays. l Wrappers also came off bundles and l The clerks in the office were kept busy doing them up again. Some complaints 1 t,of ,lx croc uyo
 ost and an investigation disclosed the l fact that the packages were not pro perly addressed and thrown in the dead letter box.
