During the holiday season large quantities of very small envelopes and cards are put in the mails with the result that all postal work is very much retarded and mail dis- figured and mutilated. This is not generally known to the public and we want you to help us to do a little educating. Please urge the public to desist from using small size cards and envelopes which are common at the Christmas period. An untold amount of time is used in cancelling such mail by hand, as it will not pass through the cancelling machines, which are built to cancel the 'proper sizes of envelopes at the maximum rate of 50,000 an hour. The hand stamping not only causes delays to the small size cards and envelopes, but also delays the other mail which follows. The mimimum size of cards and envelopes should not be below 234 by 4 inches ¥or the reasons stated above and the following. 1. Addresses will be obliterated by cancellation mark. 2. Delay in cancellation because of awkwardness in putting through can- celling machine. 3. Delayed through difficulty in sorting. 4. Liability to loss or damage as small sizes do not fit letter packages and cannot be tied securely. These odd and diminutive sized pieces of stationery have come into use in the past few years and only appear now in any quantities at Christmas time when the whole post- al institution is keyed up to top speed and trying to keep on top of the load. We will greatly appreciate, there- fore, your co-operation in helping us to get the public to use stationery of the proper size in order that the handling of gll mail may be expe- dited. In this connection, if you can spare a little space, it might be well and help us greatly if you would call at- thankful for music! It is a source of happiness that never fails. Itis a solace for what has been, and an in- spiration for what is yet to be. Music will never fail to comfort and cheer you. All that is greatest and purest and best in music can be heard in the home, on the Victrola. It will round out a happy Thanksgiving with clean and honest mirth, with dancing and with song. Why not see us about it today ? Victrola yy North Shore | TALKING MACHINE CO === 603 Davis St. EVANSTON Phone Evanston Sincerely yours, A. M. Kloepfer, Postmaster NORTH SHORE MAN LEADS N.
