IN ADDRESSING MAIL
Some business men and concerns,
as well as many individuals, place
their return card on the 'backs of en
velopes. If only they knew how ob
jectionable and inconvenient this is
to all postal employees, they would
give it the proper place, which is the
upper left hand corner.
The name and address, to whom the
letter is being sent, should be placed
in the lower part of the envelope on
the right, leaving plenty of space
above tor stamps, and postmarking.
All this applies to the sending of pack
ages, as well as to letters.
Many packages are brought up to
the office with names and addresses
on all lour sides. W hy this is done, no
one seems to know, but they do it
just the same.
One came in the other day Marked:
this side up with care,” on all four
sides.
