Air Mail Rates Rise to Eight Cents in wartime context
Postmaster Murphy notes air mail rates will increase on January 7, marking the service's fourth year. He recalls 1918 air mail launch with 24 cent per ounce cost and 10 cent delivery, contrasting today’s 1.5 billion annual letters and parcels. He urges early mailing to avoid delays and highlights air parcel post as a cheaper option for heavier items.
