I: FREQUENT IIL1GS .REQUESTED By IE POSTMASTES r - W. W. Browning, postmaster, will , make a personal appeal to merchants, bankers, factory managers and otner large Industrial interests to make early ami frequent mailings. Postmasters Postmas-ters in all the larger cities of the United Unit-ed States will make similar appeals. "Because of the mail congestion due to war time activities, the quick transmission trans-mission of letters and other packages through the mails will be better as-) as-) sured by early and frequent mailings," said Postmaster Browning. "If the merchants, bankers and heads of other big firms will mail their letters twice instead of. once a day, they will receive better service and will reduce the possibility pos-sibility of delay in transmission by at least 100 per cent. I shall personally call upon the larger firms and request that they make it a point to sign their letters at noon and in the afternoon or at such other hours as will cause a more frequent mailing." The postal authorities already have written letters to commercial clubs, fraternal organizations, trades and labor la-bor headquarters and other organizations, organiza-tions, urging the adoption of a similar r system. The idea is merely to prevent I the congestion of mail matters" which tend to delay the quickest possible I transmission.
