of it she also reveals another little-known

4 Lesson an Care

HOW'D you like to be the dead letter
n man?
He got 2l.6ls,l6s unbelievable letters
last year. letters that were wrongly adj
dressed or that were sent to people who
didn't exist.
He also got S03,5l3 packages which
were misdirected in the mails. The dead
letter man and his assistants were able TO
find out who should have been the reclp-
tents of 3is,lS of these packages, and he
delivered them.
In the undelivered letters the dead let
ter man found money amounting to Sl25,-
997.57.
He couldn't keep all of this. The own
ers were found for S70.l73.6l. That left
a balance of S55,S23.96 still in the hands
of the dead letter man unclaimed. After
a time it will be turned over TO the u. ).
treasury.
Folks are more careless than ever IN
the way they address their letters and
packages, according to the dead letter of
flee. The business of this office increased
more than II per cent over the proceed
ing year.
The dead letter man in Washington has
a whole staff of postal employees who do
nothing but open dead letters and try to
determine from their contents to whom
they should be sent or from whom they
came, so they may be returned to the
senders or delivered TO the persons who
should have received them.
There's lesson in this for you. Are
YOU careful in addressing your letters?
Are your stenographers!
