AS NEVERJEFORE The Parcels Post Business Its Heaviest Climax in Its I History in THE LOCAL OFFICE Public Realizing Its Advantages—P. O. Clerks Work Without Supper. "Tho public is Just beginning to realize the advantages of the parcels post system," said a postoffice clerk this morning, "and that is no doubt why the business here now is heavier that it has ever been before." When the time came for closing the office at 7 o'clock last night, Mr. Bosse stated, the door was obliged to be locked to keep out the continual stream of people that wanted to pour in to mail their Christmas parcels. As it was the congestion was so great that every one of tiie postoffice clerks worked on without their suppers to get the way cleared. Two parcels post deliverers are kept busy today delivering the incoming parcels, which is proportionately heavy as the outgoing. And the worst may yet come! : XMAS PROGRAM ) 1 ; (CONTINUE# FROM PAGE ONE) ( Recitation, Candy Time —Frank I Yahne. , Recitation. Kris Kringle—John r Meuanos. Dialogue.
