the Department and the tax payer
are not the only sufferers from the
evil. Private business and private

dollars from the same cause. which
strange to relate, is. in most. part
preventable. ..
This economic waste—this strange
disease—is nothing more or less
than the careless addressing of mail

and packages with incomplete, in»
adequate or incorrest addresses. an
overwhelming majority of which
comes from large patrons of the
mails.
