When George Washington left his manor house at Mt. Vernon some 150 years ago and undertook the journey to 
Philadelphia, his coach-and-six made a brave display. Actually, though, he had at his command but little better means of 
transportation than the Roman Emperors 3,000 years before. Proceeding in a leisurely style, as became his dignity, our first 
President took seven days for his journey. Today a mail plane covers the distance in less than one hour. The 
post-rider, the steamboat on canal and river, the train on its rails, and the airplane—master of its own right-of-way—mark 
the four periods of progress of postal service in America. Between the suns a continent is spanned, and the distant islands 
of the sea know the mail plane. Tomorrow—whatever it may bring, the postal service will ride with the pioneer.
