It is the post office's responsibility to look after forwarding their mall The port office does undertake to forward mall to the new address for a limited period despite the fact that the re-addressing of the mail has to be done by a very busy individual postman with a hard and fast routine facing him every day as well as a long walk and usually1 a heavy load When that period is up the new occupant of the former home isj expected to go to Jhe trouble of readdressing the mail But it Is unquestionably the duty and responsibility of the citisen who moves to a new address to notify the change of address as widely as possible The cheapest and easiest way to do thia is to have a sufficiency of envelope-sized cards printed carrying the change i of address to be mailed out to as many friends and businesses as can be recalled and thereafter to! be sent to all those from whom re- I addressed mails comes A hundred such eards can be got for under $5 a small price to pay for the convenience of your postman and the new occupant of the former address After a while nothing! still dribbles in but circulars sent by people who buy those ready-j made lists of names and addresses! And it is a simple matter to ar-i range to have these dropped in' the waste basket by the new occupant for they will come for years Some of these commercial milling lists ire outdated many years The re-addressing of summer mail ia another headache to the postman Each man has to attend to the re-addreasihg on hia own walk and in some neighborhoods where a large number of the ml-' dents are away all summer this' involves a great deal pf clerical work each morning For around one dollar the resident can buy a rubber stamp together with ink pad bearing the inscription! "forward to and then the summer address The postman given (his stamp at the beginning of the -eaon ties a name tag on It end keeps it at hia pigeon hole at the post office and in a matter of seconds instead of minutes has Hie mail re-addressed It la the sort of small convenience that means not only leas extraneous work tor the postman but far more efficient delivery of the mail Some postmen don't write very legibly VKCOXQUERED PEAK KARACHI The National Mountaineering Club of Pekletan encouraged by the conquest 1 Everest will attempt to leech the peek of Trichmir In 1955 The mountain not yet conquered la 24700 foet high A species of freshwater shrimp fa southern Florida grows to a beg to ef two feet DOUILI DRESSER MIRROETCKSY Iff sED Wwto every Roller af lit original price end featuring all the guality detaHs Mch a price hi guarantee!
