C M M. M Waite Watte alte Postmaster at Greenbush Mass MaaR was called to our attention recently and we considered It good copy so we are going to quote some SOUle of Mr Waltes Walte's story lu In u this column The man with the Christmas Christmas- wrapped package marked mer mar chandlRe gave me a sour look when I asked what WIl was inside Just a book he be snapped 1 I knew mew he thought I was being snoopy But Dut Id I'd gues guessed ed It was a book took and once he told me I 1 was able to save avo him 24 cents cools po postage tage As merchandise e at parcel post poRt rates hed he'd have paid 32 cents to mall It at book rates it went for only 8 cents conte Save by Asking Since that l incident a year ago I have kept track of our experiences expert encee ence In the Post Poet Office at Green Green- brush Mass where Im I'm ter And Im I'm convinced that most malt people would save money and get better setter service lf service if they knew more about postal services or would at Iea least t
