Careless Addresses
Delay Letters, Says
Postmaster Jones!
Several thousand letters a day are re- I
turned to the postof flee because of be- I
Ins improperly sddressed, and are thus
delayed and sometimes even fall to reach
their destination, says Postmaster John
M Jones.
One of the greatest faults of en
velop addressers Is the failure to attach
the suffix "north." -south.- southeast."
or whatever the case may be, and the
letter Is sent to one part of the city
when It Is Intended for another part
While tt does not correspond to tha
street signs, tho use of "North Esst

In giving addresses, will often prevent
delay, says Jones.
