Parcel Post Changes Seen as Christmas Gift
The Postmaster General Burleson plans to raise parcel post weight limits in the first and second zones from 20 to 50 pounds, admit books to parcel post, and cut rates in zones three through six. He leans toward encouraging book circulation, noting the current exclusion hindered sending even a Bible. Farmers’ conservative methods and lack of bookkeeping are discussed, but the overall move is praised as a step toward broader use and potential cost of living relief.
