a big improvement over the hand press, but it has got 

 to give way to the up-to-date hydrauHc. With the 

 hydraulic you have the widest possible range of pressure, 

 and you can tell exactly what pressure you are putting 

 on the bale because the pressure gage on the press reg- 

 isters the amount of pressure. And of course you get 

 even pressure with the hydraulic that you are not apt 

 to get w^ith the hand press. 1 guess you will find that 

 any one w^ho has used different kinds of pow^er presses 

 will boost for the hydraulic every time. 



Tell Min that Sue says she is all right, but I'm a 

 little worried. She's been looking a little peaked and 

 pale the last few^ weeks. Sort of ailing and don't seem 

 to eat much. But when I talk to her she says there is 

 nothing unusual the matter and pretty soon she will be 

 blossoming out like the roses that bloom in the spring. 

 I sure hope so. I guess may be she is a little home sick 

 for the mother. So we have invited the old lady to see 

 us. Haven't seen the mother-in-lavi' since the wedding, 

 and am wondering if she will be like some of those the 

 jokers write about. Our regards to you and your family, 

 and my hello to the bunch. 



Your friend,

Foreign Parcel Post Service 



The United States government is making efforts to extend 

 and improve parcel post service to all parts of the v^rorld. The 

 Postoffice Department, State Department, and Department of 

 Commerce are co-operating to that end. The matter should be 

 of some interest to manufacturers of veneers, particularly to the 

 makers of such panels as enter into foreign trade, or might enter 

 into it. Not that it will be practicable to ship panels extensively 

 by parcel post; but samples may be sent, and in that w^ay, an 

 introduction may be secured which can be followed later in a 

 business way. Speaking along that line, a recent article by S. M. 

 Jones, assistant chief of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Com- 

 merce, said: 



It is in the extension of markets for manufactured goods that 

 the parcel post will have its greatest value. The parcel post is, 

 so to speak, a wedge by which foreign markets are entered. 

 Before large orders are placed foreign importers w^ill usually 

 insist on having samples of the goods, or a small trial order will 

 be placed. If the goods are delivered satisfactorily and econom- 

 ically, the way is opened to a profitable business. On the other 

 hand, if the exporter is obliged to decline the initial request 

 because facilities for making shipment are lacking, his prospects 

 of doing further business have vanished. Rather than decline 

 orders from countries to which no parcel post service is in 

 force, some of the larger houses adopt indirect means of making 

 shipment at greatly increased expense, such as shipping the pack- 

 ages to British ports to be forwarded through the British parcel 

 post. 



The United States has parcel post treaties with very few 

 countries compared with some of the European governments. 

 Great Britain, for example, reaches ten times as many places as 

 are reached by our foreign parcel post.
