MAIL PEAK. REACHED
No Congestion at Postoffice,
BrySon Says.

The peaiz-load of Christmas mail
was expected to be reached today,
two days earlier than last year,
Postmaster Robert H. Bryson said
in commenting on success of the
mail-early campaign.
Thus far the postoffice has ex-
perienced no congestion either at
the postoffice building or at the I'M
ion station.
Nearly $4,000 incorrectly adj
dressed greeting cards today faced
postal workers seeking correct adj
dresses. Very few parcels have been
n2isaddressed this year, Bryson said.
Most of these cards reach the
special clerks because of incom-
lete or faulty street addresses.
Some are addressed in such a man
ner as Little Jackie Smith, Chel-
sea street"

mail handled at the postoffice OH
Wednesday, in comparison with
Dec. 10, 1927, was reported by Bry-
son. Inbound mail showed increase
