State Establish Record

Maryland's approximately $50
postoffices did a record business in
1943, showing individual gains over
their 1912 volume of as much as Sc
per cent. The aggregate plan for all
offices was 6.6 per cent.
Wartime business and industrial

$12,559,069. This represented a gain
of $770,924 over the S11,779,145

ed boom because of the location in
the area Of several large military
posts and the huge Triumph Explo-s
sives plant, had the largest individ-
ual gain for a flrst-elass postoffice.
Gross receipts there jumped from
90 0,SUo III lJ41 TO 3IUz,0UG last
year, gain of about Sc per cent.
First class offices had an aggregate
gain of 81 per cent. but most of the
offices of this type showed even more
substantial increases.
Second class offices, of which there
are approximately forty in Maryland,
reported the largest gain for single
classification, eleven per cent.
Elkton was trailed in the percent
age of increase by Hyattsville, with a
% per cent jump; Cumberland and
Westminster, each q per cent; Ha-
gerstown, 20 per cent; Silver Spring,
II per cent; Frederick, 5 per cent;
Salisbury and Annapolis, each II per
cent.
The smallest first-class Office in
crease of about two per cent was re-
ported from Mount Rainier.
In addition to the regular volume
of postal business, the offices last
year also sold war bonds having
value of S25, 591, so, Neal A. Sib-
ley reported The Baltimore Office
acts as a clearing house for war
bond sales as we'll as for postal re-
ceipts for second, third, and fourth
