TIMELY SUGGESTIONS

At the meeting of the Commercial
Club held Tuesday evening, Ira
, o, Thompson gave number Of time
ly suggestions in regard to the wrap
ping and addressing of Christmas
| mail
The package, to begin with, should
be wrapped in heavy paper, and
securely tied. Artistic wrapping should
be covered by serviceable manila
paper, for even though package
wrapped in pretty tissue paper, and
tied with ribbon might enter the mail,
beautiful to behold it would not reach
its destination in that condition. MIR.
Thompson pointed out that packages
must indeed be well wrapped and tied
to withstand the great weight of the
stacks of mail that are piled in
offices and trains.
The return address plainly written
in the upper left hand corner, and the
address of the person to whom it is to
go in the lower right hand corner,
should be written on the FRONT of a
package only. In the case of cards
and messages this should also be
done.
Stickers and seals may be placed
only on the back OF the packages.
