THE ELKIN TRIBUNE, ELK IN, NORTH CAROLINA
SUGGESTIONS FOR
CHRISTMAS MAIL
Public Should Mail Earlier
Due to Fact Christmas
Falls on Sunday
OTHER ADVICE IS GIVEN
Public attention is Ujvited to
the necessity for earlier mailing
this Christmas season. Christmas
day falls cn Sunday, and post of
fices will be closed on December
25 and 26th. There will be no
window service at post offices,
and city, village and rural delivery
of mail will be suspended Dec. 25
and 26th. Parcels may be marked
"Do Not Open Until Christmas".
It is advisable to insure packages
of value, and, when immediate
delivery is desired upon receipt at
the office of address, special de
livery service should be employed.
Christmas cards, when enclosed
in envelopes, must be sealed to
secure the local drop letter rate of
1 cent each. Unsealed envelopes
containing cards require postage
at the third class rate of 1 1-2
cents for each, ounce or fraction
thereof for delivery to any do
mestic address. Since unsealed
cards are third class mail, it is
often advantageous to employ the
first class rate due to the foward
ing priviledge it carries and the
more expeditious handling which
ia accorded mail of this class.
Parcel post windows will remain
open Saturday afternoon, Dec. 17,
and Dec. 24th for public conven
ience.
