A New Rule At The Postoffice

A NEW RULE AT THE POSTOFFICE

Because it has been found so easy to make a mistake in understanding names of people, especially the initials of people, and of places when given over the telephone, Postmaster Pond has found it necessary to prohibit receiving orders for changing address or forwarding mail over the 'phone. Such orders should be handed in at the general delivery window of the postoffice, or written upon a slip of paper and given to any of the letter carriers. It has always been against the rules of the postoffice to answer questions about individual mail over the 'phone, because sumetimes people have made inquiries about other people's mail with which they had no business. Uncle Sam endeavors to protect the sacredness of every patron's mail, and tries his best to always deliver the same to the right person and in the right place.
