Processing an average of 2.8 million pieces of mail by 9:90 p m .Bach evening requires a concerted effort on the part of the Tour III employees who begin work at 2:90 &m. Those employees must have the mail distributed by 9:90 p.m. to connect with outbound transporta tion to other cities and for Tour I employees to distribute it to delivery units in Charlotte. Ail of Charlotte’s mail must be ready for transportation from the 89v General Mail Facility by 6:30 a m. for the carriers to have their mail and for station clerics to distribute the mail to the customer’s post office bon. “We cannot expand departure times because of other transporta tion connections down the line. The customer holds the key, and that rests with how much mail they can give us early in the day. We re quest the mailer’s cooperation in depositing mail early and often, not Just at the close of the business day,” concluded Postmaster Bernard _ 11 HO! mi Read The Best! The Charlotte Post!
