The Postal Service
Excerpt from The Postal Service
No Branch of the federal government more strik ingly illustrates the wonderful growth and extension of Uncle Sam's business than the Postal Service. Its history is the history of the commercial and industrial development of the nation, for it has kept abreast, so far as supplying the means of quick and reliable com munication is concerned, of the onward march of pro gress. It ought to be the desire and the aim of every man and woman who purposes to take up the postal service as a life career, to know something of its his tory, its gradual evolution. Only in this way can they form a just estimate of its relative value in the scheme of government, and without such knowledge they will be merely perfunctory human machines, void of that close personal attachment so necessary to success in any undertaking.
