Ties ami ?.tier advertising med
iaiUH Christinas mailers were in
daccd to dispatch their Yuletide
present* earlier m the month than
ever before in the history of the
institution of gift exchanging iu
lite holiday season.
As a result, the spectacle of the
last minute rush of former years,
with its uttendaut heartbreaking
labor ou the pari of weried and
nerve worn store clerks and postal
employees was avoided.
This year Postmaster General
New and and First Assistant Post
master General John H. llartlott
kave determined to make an even
better record and to banish for all
time the suffering undergone in
past ye ?rs by t hose engaged in the
snle or transportation of gifts.
They hope to make "Shop Karly"
and Mail Karly" a habit with the
American people.
Mailing early does not mean
December 1st or before, but if
everyone could get their holiday
tokens in the mail between Decern
ber 10 and December 20, the post
office eon 1<I not ask more.
particular attention this year
will be paid to greeting card. De
spite the success last, year it was
aoted that the l.u-t minute mail
consisted largely of cards, lossib
)y many of them were returned
gr 9 ings to friends, heard from on
a previous mail, but overl< oked on
the original Christmas list. Un
like parcels and letters containing
money orders, cards, of course,can
aot be well niaiked "Do Not Open
Until Christmas." Therefore, it
is possible that the many mailers
bold them until the Inst, to insure
delivery on Christmas Eve. This
class of mailers this year, however
may find their cards undelivered
?ntil after Christmas Day.
Believing that the energies of
postal employees should not be
sapped to tho lar-t degree for any
avoidable reason, and, intent npon
securing for them the samo Christ
mas privileges enjoyed by other?,
Postmaster General New asks the
hearty co-operation of tho public.
The last minute, or zero hour has
been moved up so that all postal
employees may eat their Christ
mas dinners at home. Rural car
riers will deliver no mail at all on
Christmas day and clerks and car
riers in the city offices will stop
work promptly at noon.
Barber: Good morning, sir. 1
haven't teen your face for a long'
tine.
Customer: That'? funny. I left
