Postman Facing
Busy Routes
This Summer
Life becomes more interesting
for the postman this month.
Millions of Americans, "having
wonderful time" here and abroad,
will be crowding the mails with
vacation postcards. So for the
next five months mailmen will
have something besides addresses
to read on their rounds
Not even the Postmaster Gen
eral knows how many cards are
mailed by Americans each sum
mer or each year. In 1951 the
U.S. Post Office issued about 4.
200,000,000 official stamped pos
tal cards to postmasters through
out the country. This figures out
to 28 per person and it's estimat
ed another 170 million picture
postcards are printed annually.
So even making allowance for
the heavy use of government is
sued cards by business firms, it's
safe to assume the average Am
erican mails at least a dozen
cards a year.
Almost everybody enjoys post
card communication the sender,
the addressee and even the mail
man if they're legibly written
and properly addressed. And
they've been enjoying it since
1869 when the first postcard was
mailed in Austria.
On Jan. 26, 1869, Dr. Emman
uel Hermann of the Military
Academy of Vienna suggested the
handy stamped card in a letter to
the Neue Freie Presse of Austria.
On Oct 6 of that year, Postmas
ter General Henry von Stephens
adopted postal cards in Austria.
The innovation was adopted in
the United States six years later.
