AIRMAIL AIDS
POSTAL GAINS
March Increase Of % 1870
Materially Bolstered BY

That the Valley Is becoming air.
minded is demonstrated by the %
1-3 per cent gain shown by the
postal receipts here during March
over the same month of the prev
ious year. An analysis Of the in
crease shows that it is due in large
part to the air mail.
Receipts for March, 1929 were
$5,777.24 as compared to $4722.2i
for March 1923. This is an in
crease Of 1,055.30. Sales of air.
mail stamps and envelopes for the
past month show $500 scent
stamps, 1850 10 cent stamps and
$3.50 stamped envelopes sold. This
represents $743.O8 as compared to
only $50 1O-cent stamps sold the
previous March.
The present record was some
what hampered due to lack Of 5
cent stamps for several days. Most
of the sales were made since
March z.
A gain of Sc per cent was shown
Dy the March quarter over the
same period of last year. These
figures were $17,052.24 as compared
to l 6,138.93.
BY months the receipts were:
1928 1929
Jan. J.. 6,124.22 6,216.95 92.73 inc.
Feb. >. 6,202.47 5,o57.75 234.72dec.
Mar. II. 4,722.24 ,5,77754 1885, 0inc.
Totals 16,138.o3 17,O52.24 1881 inc.
The February decrease was due
in part to a shorter month in 1929
than in 1923.
Postal figures here have been
on o steady increase for some time
and officials expect the airmail to
continue to swell. A move is now
on foot to have the Valley star
route connect with the northbound
plane cut Of Brownsville at f:2j
p. m. This would lend further i'm
petus to the use Of airmail, it is
believed.
The above figures do not include
money orders.
