Mailing tips from the post office By HENRY C. STOKES. JR. Hertford Postmaster Here are some "shopping tips" for you to use when you visit your post office. At least one of them should save you money or get you more value for what you spend. Post cards are a bargain. Thirteen cents will speed your message anywhere in the country, use your own card and a 13-cent stamp, or even better, buy the 13-cent postal card sold at your post office and get the card thrown in free. Hake special delivery count. Don't use it if you're mailing to a box number. Post office boxes get "special" deliveries several times a day anyway. Don't use it with a rural route address. (The cost of having rural route carriers standing by all over the country is unthinkable.) Do use it if you expect your letter to arrive in its destination city on a weekend or holiday and you want immediate delivery. The $2.10 (minimum) fee will assure carrier delivery on Sundays or holidays and ? during prescribed hours beyond the hours for delivery of ordinary mail. Order (tamp* by mail. Call or write your post office for order blanks and postage-paid envelopes to get books, sheets or rolls of stamps, or stamped envelopes. The 40-cent handling charge is probably less than the cost of the gas you'd use to drive to the post office. Uae your return addreu. Put it in the upper left-hand corner of your letter, with your Zip Code (not on the back where it will take longer to find.) Mail before 5:00 p.m. - the earlier the better. Mailing early in the day tf one baseball is tossed horizontally while at the same in stant a second baseball is dropped vertically from the same height, both of them will reach the ground simultaneously. We appreciate your patronage during the past year, and wish you a Mejry Christmas and a Happy New Year. means that you put your letters at the head of the line for processing and travel on the first available tran sportation. With many airports forbidding late-night flights, this could make a difference in arrival time for mail going long distance. Use strong tape on parcels. Use filament tape, the kind that needs cutting with scissors. Don't bother with wrapping paper if you have a good sturdy box with enough space to print a large, legible address and return address. Want to know more about the services available at the post office? Ask your postmaster for "A Customer's Directory of Postal Services and Products" (Pub. 201). Or write the Consumer Advocate., U.S. Postal Service, Washington, D.C. 20260-6320.
