Early And Often
B usinessm en d issatisfied w ith
the delivery’ of th e ir m ail should
not place all th e responsibility
for delay on th e P o st Office D e­
p artm e n t. M any business firm s
them selves co n trib u te to th e delay
of m ail deliveries and needlessly
a t that.
P ostal a u th o ritie s to d ay a re
decrying th e habit followed by
m any firm s of le tte rin g th e ir o u t­
going m ail pile up u n til 5 p. m.
daily before it is dropped into a
collection box. T his produces a
sup p er-tim e av alan ch e of m ail in
.post offices, and a log-jam of l e t­
te rs to be processed, so rted and
p rep ared to be sent out. By th e
tim e th is pileup is cleared, it is
often too la te for m ail to be plac­
ed on th e p ro p er long-distance
train s.
In an effort to expedite d eliv er­
ies, postal au th o ritie s a re urging
business firm s to deposit th e ir
out-going m ail tw o o r th re e tim es
a day. T hey u rg e business firm s
to deposit th e ir out going m ail
a t noon, and again a t m id -a fte r­
noon, ex p lain in g th a t it m akes
little sense to allow a le tte r w rit­
ten a t 10 a. m. to sit around in
a basket for seven h o u rs until it
is posted.
The h ab it of posting le tte s a t
5 p. m. m akes little sense in
view of th e freq u en t collections of
incom ing m ail m ade by m ost
firm s A u th o rities insist it is as
im p o rtan t to send out m ail fre ­
q u en tly as to collect it several
tim es a day.
M ost business firm s w ho like
to co n tra st th e ir own efficient,
tim e-sav in g m ethods w ith govern­
m ent incom petence w ill co n tin u e
th e ir p ra c tic e of m ak in g one 5
p. m. m ail deposit a day. Yet, by
co operating w ith the governm ent,
th ey could help im prove its ef-
; ficiency. In m any sim ilar cases,
gov ern m en t efficiency could be r e ­
duced w ith citizen assistan ce.
M any people, however, a p p a re n tly
would ra th e r com plain ab o u t th e
