i PREPARATION ‘OF
| “A ghipment stacvted right is half
way there,” ‘remarked Bill Murray,
agent of the American Railway KEx
‘press Co., in this city today, in dis
cussing the coming holiday traffic.
‘All indications point to heavy busi
ness, according to Mr. Murray and he
}laid stress upon the importance of
‘early shipping,*ay wcll.as early shop
ping. : |
Regarding the preparation of holi
day shipments, Mr. Murray made
some timely suggesticns: |
“In preparing any shipments, con-}
sideration should be given to the ua-‘
ture of the goods, the distance they
are to travel and.the amount of huml-|
ling they must necessarily I’eceiv¢'.|
The nature of the gift and the weight
will determine whether it can safely
he tfansperted with paper wrapping
only. !
“Fragile articles, like glass and
crockery, need the protection of a box
or other outside -container in addi-|
tion to ample and suitable cushion
ing materjal., If several are forward
ed in the same package, each should
be separately wrapped and then per
haps tied together, ‘Play’ inside a
package may cause damage to the
contents. Good ‘strong paper and
twine liberally used will help.
“The importance of camplete and
accurate ‘addressing is obvious. In
stead of writing with lead pencil or
using tags, the marks should be ap
plieq directly on the surface of the
package by waterproof crayon, ink
or stencil, or by use of special holi
day labelg obtainable on request at
the express office. The name and
address of the sender might well be
enclosed in the package, in addition
to being shown on the outside.
“Kvery address should include the
name of the receiver, full street and
number, city or town, state and in
case of small towns, the name of the
county. This will prevent delayg in
delivery, often caused by incomplete
addresses.
“Legible writing in preparing ad
dress on a Christmas shipment and
the care in abbreviating the name of
the state will aid in prompt handling
during the busy season, when every
delay may cause disappointment, par
ticularly if it results in delivery after
Christmas.
“The full name and address of the
sender, preceded by the word ‘from’
should be marked less conspicously
on the upper left hang corner of the
package.” 12-8
them being the selection of four mem
bers of the Crisp county power
commission and to hear appeals for;
the Ellis Health law in the county.
