Big mailers and the business houses are requested and urged to deposit their outgoing mail early. Mailing should begin not later than three-thirty each afternoon. A large amount of mail is being deposited around five o'clock, and cannot all be sent out as it takes much time to separate and prepare the mail for dispatch. To be assured of your mail being dispatched deposit it between the hours of 3:30 and 4:30. The local postal force is trying to give the most efficient service, but to do so must have the co-operation of those who deposit mail in large quantities.
