Show RETURN ADDRESSES ON US IIL Washington, Deo. 6. 1928. The attention of postmasters U directed di-rected to the fact that In January every ev-ery year the dead-letter service receives re-ceives between three and four million dad letters containing Christmas and New Year carda In addition to the normal receipts of ordinary undollver-able undollver-able letters. ' This enormous increase In undellv. arable matter If of course due primarily prim-arily to incorrect addresses, but would still be preventable in spite of ' incorrect addressing If the patrons of the service could be persuaded to place their return addresses on the envelopes contrary to the widespread custom of mailing greeting cards In noncard envelopes. The loss thus sustained each year by the mailing public la enormous, amounting to not less' than $325,000 In cash outlay, not to mention the disappointment of hundreds of thousands thous-ands of persons who fall to receive the anticipated greetings, leading no doubt In many ' cases to aalsunder- landings and estrangements, since . In the absence of a return address on the envelope the lettor can not be returned re-turned and the mailer therefor Is un. -w aware that bis or her message was not delivered. , Thousands of these ,-are ,-are found to contain gifts of money ' j I when opened in the dead-letter office and comparatively few contain eucl-cient eucl-cient information to enable their return re-turn to the mailers. If patrons of the malls could be persuaded to write their return ad. dresses on the covers of these letters not only they but the post-office ser . , vice would be saved much trouble and "4 annoyance and yon are therefore r f ' quested to give this matter as much publicity as possible In your local papers pa-pers without expense to the department depart-ment JOHN II.
