Show ' SUCCESS OF SHOP EARLY MAIL EARLY CAMPAIGN The Shop Early, Mail Early campaign cam-paign inaugurated by Postmaster General New last year proved to be an unqualified success. It was of great benefit to the people and also enabled post office employees to deliver de-liver all the Christmas mail before noon on December 25. The Department Depart-ment again this year asks the hearty cooperation of the public in order that the record made last year may be equalled, if not excelled. When you shop early and mail . early you are helping the clerks in the post office to eat their dinners home and you are greatly benefiting yourselves. You have a greater chance to secure a better selection of gifts from the stores, you have more time to wrap them securely and you are sure that they will arrive at their destination in time to be opened Christmas morning. You are also relieving the burdens on the clerks behind the counters in the stores, and you are giving a practical demonstration demonstra-tion of the good will that Christmas time signifies. Acting Postmaster General, John H. Tlartlptt m,.,i. that you refrain from using small envelopes en-velopes in sending your Christmas cards as this very greatly retards the sorting and distribution of the mails. Let all of us pull together this year, do our shopping early and do' our mailing early, let's make it a genuine old-fashioned Christmas celebration. |
