Postal costs and profits cited by Postmaster Owen
Postmaster Henry W. Owen told Grace Church Men’s Club that postal operations amount to a global scale business with a mix of profits and deficits for 1928. First class mail yielded 84 million dollars in profit while other classes ran a 32 million dollar deficit. The post office is argued to serve the public interest rather than turn a profit.
