ADDRESS MAIL
CAREFULLY
Postal Patrons Urged To
Take Greater Care In
Addressing Mail
INCREASED VOLUME

Postmaster General Arthur E.
Summerfeld has urged postal pa
irons to take greater care in ad-
dressing mail to help the Post
Office Department cope with
growing mail volume and related
problems of look alike" addresses.
Mail volume has been increas-
ing steadily, because of growing
population and greater per capita
use of the mails, Mr.. Summerield
pointed out. In the past fiscal year
ended last June 80, the mail vol
ume was approximately 55 billion
pieces, and in 10 years it is ex-
pected to be between 70 and rs
billion pieces.
Naturally, with greater vol
ume, there are growing number
of mistakes in the addressing of
mail" Mr.. Summerfeld noted,
'Postal patrons can help us main
tain the rapid service they have
grown to expect in recent years
by taking care to address their
letter or package correctly.
ITO give an idea Of what we
are up against" Mr.. Summerfeld
continued, 1--WE have now over the
nation "a Arlingtons, "a Green
villes, 27 Franklins, 26 Chesters,
"a Manchesters, "a Marions, q
Madisons and 26 Washingtons.
Perhaps the best known dupli-
cation of names is that of Holly
wood, California "a station of the
Los Angeles Post Office) and Hol-
lywood, Florida. But it should be
noted that we have IL other Hol-
lywoods too.
Besides these Implications" Mr..
Summerfield added, "there are
dozens of other offices and STA
tions bearing identical names.
This, of course, makes it impera-
tive that the name of the state
be legibly written.
"Also, not only do we have a
lot of post Offices and postal sta
tions with exactly the same name,
but there are scores of instances
where they bear somewhat similar
names. When two post offices in
the same state have similar names
it. becomes a problem If the ad-
dress is illegible or poorly writ
ten. Just as one example among
many, there are Norwalk and
Norfolk, Connecticut.
"And all of this" MIR. Summer
field explained further, "is COM
plicated by the fact that many
of our state abbreviations look
alike when written poorly or typ
ed incorrectly. For example, a
letter meant for Arlington, Ca,
may easily go to Arlington, Va,
when the writing is poor.
Outstanding on the list of state
name abbreviations which look
much alike are those of Mass,
