The Post Office Department's Philatelic
Truck, carrying a complete collection of
U.S. stamps for youngsters to view, toured the
country from 1939 to 1941 to stimulate inter-
est in stamp collecting. President Franklin
D. Roosevelt sent along a message to “The
Junior Philatelists of the United States,"
which said: “I commend stamp collecting to
you because I started a collection when I was
about ten years old and have kept it up ever
since. In addition to the fun of it, it has kept
up my interest in history and geography, past
and present. I really believe that collecting
stamps makes one a better citizen."
