Better Mailing Week Promotes Careful Addresses Nationally
In June 1 to 7 Better Mailing Week aims to cut waste from misdirected mail. The Motion Picture Theatre Owners Association will screen slogans, newspapers will publicize waste, and postmasters in major cities will discuss on radio. Data from New Castle shows 21,000,000 letters and 802,000 parcels went to the dead letter office last year, with returns costing millions. The campaign urges return addresses, sturdy wrappings, and proper addressing. Boston reports Tom the ox, a 3,000-pound animal fluent in Italian German and Middle West English, a sideshow attraction for street and fair exhibitions.
