Postal Service urges early mailing for Christmas gifts in wartime
Public response to the Post Office Shop Now Mail in November campaign is good but must improve says Postmaster General Frank C. Walker. He notes wartime shortages of manpower and transport and cites 50,000 postal workers in armed forces and 860,000 railroad workers overseas. He pleads for cooperation from Americans to ensure timely delivery and asks everyone to buy now, mail in November, and mark gifts Not Open Until Christmas.
