Postal Service Decentralizes To Cut Costs And Boost Efficiency
A 1923 era report details decentralization of the United States Post Office Department, noting savings from releasing 710 Washington staff, handling quarterly accounts, and distributing stamps locally within 24 hours. It highlights a shift to rural route expansion, new parcel post systems, and the world’s largest malt terminal in Chicago, plus reform efforts to reduce waste and modernize operations. The document covers postmaster promotions, new stamp designs, and public service improvements such as home delivery, front-door mail drops, and revised accounting practices.
