Parcel post exports surge as American goods ship abroad
The Commerce Department reports parcel post exports reach about two million dollars monthly, totaling 8.3 million in the first five months of the year. Dry goods, clothing, silk wear, cotton goods, and related items dominate, with optical, leather, fur, and jewelry goods following. Director Julius Klein notes the shift from mystique to long distance selling, as inland manufacturers now view foreign trade as accessible via the post office. The data exclude under $25 shipments, which Labor estimates suggest amount to at least half a million monthly.
