Show 'Gravy Window' Brings Post Office Good Profit HOUSTON, TEXAS. The gravy window at the Houston post office has averaged $50 a day net profit to Uncle Sam since it was opened February 20. The gravy window has a more dignified title in post office circles "Philatelic Window" but the postmaster reports the dollars that stamp collectors pass through the wicket are "pure gravy." The biggest sale thus far was to a man who paid $2,500 for five sheets ol $5 stamps. Five dollar stamps are generally used for air mail packages and, in this territory, by cotton firms sending samples abroad. |
