Reedy reported this week. Reedy said the sale of stamps for the f irs t q u a rte r of t h e year, Jan u a ry through March, broke all existing re cords a t th e local office. He said a to ta l of $32,010 in stamps was sold a t th e local office which is an increase of nine per cent oyer the first qu arte r of la st year. And the firs t q u arte r of 1957, he said, had set an all-time firs t qu arte r mark outstripping tihe previous record by over 60 per cent. He attrib u ted the increase to the stability and increase of industrial mail handling, an indication th a t Lititz business is in b e tte r shape th an much of th e nation where recession has cut deeply into receipts of all kinds. • Normally, Reedy said, the last q u a rte r of th e yea r brings the heaviest mail deluge and thus th e biggest q u a rte r in the sale of stamps. - This is due to Christmas mail. Recently th e firs t qu arte r report of th e Lancaster City Post Office was released and showed a 12 per cent decline in the handling of stamps over 1957. Postmaster F ra n k Hammond blamed it on the business re cession and th e snowstorms Which h it here.

Reedy reported this week. Reedy said the sale of stamps for the f irs t q u a rte r of t h e year, Jan u a ry through March, broke all existing re cords a t th e local office. He said a to ta l of $32,010 in stamps was sold a t th e local office which is an increase of nine per cent oyer the first qu arte r of la st year. And the firs t q u arte r of 1957, he said, had set an all-time firs t qu arte r mark outstripping tihe previous record by over 60 per cent. He attrib u ted the increase to the stability and increase of industrial mail handling, an indication th a t Lititz business is in b e tte r shape th an much of th e nation where recession has cut deeply into receipts of all kinds. • Normally, Reedy said, the last q u a rte r of th e yea r brings the heaviest mail deluge and thus th e biggest q u a rte r in the sale of stamps. - This is due to Christmas mail. Recently th e firs t qu arte r report of th e Lancaster City Post Office was released and showed a 12 per cent decline in the handling of stamps over 1957. Postmaster F ra n k Hammond blamed it on the business re cession and th e snowstorms Which h it here.
