"Parcel post by conveyor belts will make for more efficient handling of mail, postal and Terminal Railroad Association officials said yesterday. The new $4,000,000 conveyor belt system goes into operation today. At right is a new Terminal building, where 70 railway cars can back in to unload parcel post. An overpass crosses Clark Avenue near Seventeenth Street with conveyor belts taking the parcel post to the Post Office."
