Buying for Forge Not Too Big Proves Need of Assistants
Postmaster General Cortelyou cites a Railroads study to defend the Post Office purchasing office. He notes the office employs a purchasing agent, a diet clerk, four clerks and an assistant messenger with a $16,420 payroll, and compares it to railroads that use about 568 buyers for $219 million in annual purchases. The data suggest the Post Office force is well within industry norms.
