Austin Receives Two New Mail Trucks
Postmaster Bob Phinney announced two 10 1/2 foot International panel-body trucks for parcel post use. The Austin Post Office fleet grows to 23 with Lyndon Johnson pushing for more units to handle rising mail volume. Senior parcel postman Ralph Schoenert and veteran Andrew Bankston will operate the new vehicles, freeing lighter trucks for pickups.
