Be PF 3 pr FRIN Ed November 13, 1926 WINNETKA TALK "NUMBER PLEASE," NEW PLEA AT POST OFFICE Failure of Residents to Place Street Numbers on Letters Causes Mail Delays BY OBSERVER When you want to make a telephone call, what do you do? You consult the telephone directory, ascertain the number representing the paity you wish to call and transmit that to the telephone operator. You don't say. "Please give me the 0. B._ Joyful residence or the O. H. Hurry market," indeed you don't If you did, "Central," that inde- pendent individual at the other end of the line, would just keep repeating, "Number please, number please," until you gave her a number. They know only numbers and give you service only when you call by numbers and not by names. But, how is it when you address a letter for delivery in Winnetka? Don't you often post your letters without placing the street number on the envelope, along with the remainder of the address? Postmaster E. E. Adams says there are a lot of people who do this, and adds he is quite certain that if they only knew what a lot of inconvenience it often occasions--even delay in mak- ing delivery--they would be as careful to place the house number in the ad- dress as they are to give the telephone operator the number of the call they wish to make. Hardship on Clerks It is true, Mr. Adams says, that every carrier knows the people who receive mail on his route. But there SIT NOW For Your Chr._tmas Photographs In November we can render far better service than Christmas rush. We can accommodate you in every way possible--hold the pictures for delivery until the week before Christmas and generally be of greater satisfaction than if you "put it off until the last minute."

Therefore, it must be perceptible to the general public, Mr. Adams, feels, that they might aid materially in the post office work, if, when they ad- dress a letter, they place the house number in the address. If you can't, for the moment recall it, what do you think the postoffice clerks will do when they reecive for sorting the let- ters thus dispatched? As Postmaster Adams says, they have to stop to look up the residence number, the very thing that should be done by the person who posts the letter. Won't you assist Uncle Sam's faithful servants by doing this here- after, when you post mail? HOLD BUSINESS MEETING Sunday, November 14, at the close of worship, a postponed business meet- ing of the Winnetka Congregational church will be held to resume consider- ation of the proposal to amend the by- laws providing for the annual election of officers by mail. Mr. and Mrs. William Sherman Hay of 645 Sheridan road will return the latter part of November from a trip abroad. They sailed from Europe the first of the week on the Berengaria, and expect to arrive in Winnetka about November 23. Members -- for your White Dresses. UNIQUE STYLE SHOP B.
