Mail sleuth
The Post Office is maintaining its remarkable record of finding the owners of badly addressed mail. A letter sent from Perth to Selby and Company, Ltd, in Christchurch took only four days to reach its destination. The address on the letter was: “W. Selby and Company, Ltd, Suede Leather Garments Factory, Somewhere in New Zealand.” Another letter from the United States to a man in Wellington had a most abbreviated address. It gave the man’s name, a street, and number —in New Zealand. The recipient, Mr W. Jonas, said of the Post Office: Its research work is about the most outstanding aspect that anyone could imagine.”
