EASTER GIFTS
BUSINESS FOR POST OFFICE
Is Easter beginning to rival Christmas as the time for pleasant exchanges of gifts? This development was noticeable in connection with Post Office business during Easter, when the constantly improving mail totals showed an abnormal spurt. The reason was sought in the four chief centres, because the Post Office closely watches variations in its business with the object of keeping facilities well in line with the demand. It was discovered that the number of small packages posted during the few days prior to Easter holidays went up in volume so substantially that many more “overflow” bags had to be used by the postmen on their rounds in tho four chief centres. The “overflow bag” is the method of relieving postmen of a good deal of the weight of the mail matter they deliver oh thbir normal rounds.
