masters can relate instances
where a customer puts a sole

“Keep this side up go the bow

One look behind the counter
area in‘any large Post Office
shows the increase in parcel
sorting equipment. Increased
mechanizalion is a must as mail
volumes keep right on growing.
And, a mechanical system is not
designed to provide. “kid glove

wrapped packages. That

Christmas bow. needs more .

protection than a note pinned on
the parcel. ;

Pick a strong carton - check -

Use lots of cushloning - fill up
all the corners - at least 2" of
padding all around for fragile
items.

Apply tough wrapping paper

written on one side’ of the
parcel. A piece of paper with
the same information can be
placed inside the parcel in the
-event the wrapper or label
becomes detached. Don’t forget
those apartment number and
addresses are not complele
unless the Postal Code appears
as the last line.

Use Post Office labels - tell
‘the Post: Office what you're
