Do You Remember Samy Canceling Machine Mutiny In Post Office
A Sikeston post office mutiny near miss occurred 33 years ago when a stamp cancelling machine was first installed. Postmaster Frank H. Smith recalls workers eager to run the new device which could cancel 3000 stamps per hour, though it had quirks like not locating stamps unless in the upper right corner of envelopes and not canceling upside down. The era ended with stamps now routinely cancelled by machine and regular hours for staff.
