Gravy Window Brings
Post Office Good Profit

HOUSTON, TEXAS.-The gravy
window at the Houston post Office
has averaged $50 a day net profit
TO Uncle Sam since it was opened
February 20.
The gravy window has a more
dignified title in post Office circles
-"Philatelic Window" the
postmaster reports the dollars that
stamp collectors pass through the
wicket are pure gravy"
The biggest sale thus far was to a
man who paid So, 500 for five sheets
of SIS stamps. Five dollar stamps
are generally used for air mail
packages and, in this territory, by
cotton firms sending samples
abroad.
