Future Mail Transportation
Washington District Of Columbia (DC), Continental Chrome PM 1989 Nov-27
Description:
No.89-40. Imagine that someday human space colonies dot universe the way cities dot the earth today. Space travel would become so routine that an interstellar highway system would become necessary to handle the traffic--people would have to be transported from space station to space station, from planet to planet. But that would not be the only kind of traffic generated by space colonies. "Interstellar trucklines" would evolve to carry into space things that colonies would consider necessities, like food, medicine, clothing, and, of course, letters from home. Some people feel that it is quite likely that the day will come when space-age vehicles travel along interstellar highways delivering mail to colonists as close as the moon and as far away as the outer reaches of the universe. This impressive transportation system would carry people, goods and raw materials as well as mail on routes to extraterrestrial destinations, including post offices among the stars

Three Generations of Letter Carriers
Continental Chrome PM 1989 Nov-19
Description:
CLASSIC MAIL TRANSPORTATION First Day of Issue: November 19, 1989 First Issue Location: Washington, D.C. When the U.S. Postal Service proudly announced in 1895 that it had commissioned a newfangled auto truck for mail delivery, more than a few eyebrows were raised. Nevertheless, in December of 1899 a shiny Winton motor wagon with a "U.S. Mail" sign completed a rattling test drive through the snow-covered streets of Cleveland, Ohio. Even following the success of this run, the Postal Service was hesitant to invest money in a delivery service it wasn't sure would succeed on a mass scale. Finally, after two trucks were successfully used to collect mail from street letter boxes in Baltimore in 1906, the Postal Service expanded use of the automobile, and by the mid-1950's the automobile and motor truck had become America's main form of mail transport. The cachet on this Maximum Card traces three generations of letter carriers, from a mailman of the 1890's, through a group with their trusty mail wagon of the 1920's, to the reflective contemporary postal carrier who remembers them all

Seventy Years Of Progress In The Railway Post Office
Linen unused
Description:
The Old and the new mail cards form a part of the Burlington's Exhibit at a century of progress exposition. In a little car like this, on July 28, 1862, enroute form West Quincy to St. Joseph, Missouri, over what is now a part of the Burlington main line from Chicago to Kansas City and St. Joseph, United States Mail was first sorted while in transit. The purpose was to speed the departure of the overland stage coach from St. Joseph to California. At the right is the modern standard Railway Post Office, in several of which the California and other western mail is now sorted nightly on the Burlington fast mail trains between Chicago and Omaha.

The "Mailomat" . . . Is a coin-operated U.S. mailbox for people who have letters to mail-and no stamps. It is a "self-service postoffice" that mails your letters withour need of adhesive stamps. To mail a letter you (1) drop money in coin slot (2) dial correct postage denomination (3) insert letter in letter slot. The machine does the rest; automatically takes your letter, prints postage and postmark on it, and holds if for collection. . . provides postage from 1c to 33c, including Air Mail, Special Delivery, etc., with no premium for postage. Metered mail needs less postoffice handling, often catches earlier trains and planes, starts on its way sooner. The "Mailomat" is a pre-war invention of Pitney-Bowes Postage Meter Co., Stamford, Conn., now converted to war production; was developed in cooperation with the U.S. Post Office Dept. to facilitate public use of the mails in post office lobbies, railway terminals, etc. Manufacturing will begin when the war is won. Try this new "stampless" postal service now. Use this card to say "hello" to that boy in Service. And when using the mails these days, at home or office, remember to mail early and often . . . to help clear the track for war mail . . . and to help the Post Office help you! Collection of mail from coin-operated letter box Streamlined mailing . . no adbesive stamps required Instructional post card, compliments of Pitney-Bowes Postage Meter Co.
