THE MAIL MUST GO THROUGH!
Seems there's been a lof of controversy
lately about the operations of the U.S.
Postal service! Complaints that mail is
taking too long to go through. The rates
have certainly gone up! I'm old enough to
remember the two penny post card. These days
out stamps don't even carry their monetary
denomination because it changes so often!
Still some hold that the post office has
always been the most cost effective way\
to send mail. That was certainly the case
on this date in 1914. That's the day 4-year-
old Charlotte May Pierstorff was mailed
73 miles from her parents to her grandparents!
Seems if you were under the 50 pound weight
limit that was the cheapest way to travel!
Wonder how many stamps the kid needed?
Hope your mail is coming through OK and
that all your NEWS is good!
