"Packages pour through the main post office at Eighteenth and market Streets as the Christmas mailing rush hits full stride, but the pileup isn't as bad as it looks thanks to an efficient handling system which keeps the parcels moving toward their destinations. Postmaster Bernard F. Dickmann warned, however, that gifts still must be mailed early to be sure of arriving on time as the load will get heavier."
