In Atlanta the third assistant postmaster general ranks the city seventeenth among forty five large offices for second class mail, with 4,406,474 pounds of matter in 1902. The Constitution bore about 58 percent of total postal revenue for such matter, paying $25,211.75 of $44,064.74. The piece argues this proves strong local publicity value and questions rival claims about circulation.
