Scope and content
Surrounded by baskets and bins overflowing with letters and packages, a female employee at the Main U.S. Post Office in Tacoma, 1102 A Street, tried to keep up with the Christmas crush of mail in December of 1922. The clerk, believed to be Frances Bonell or Elizabeth Hoefler, used a city directory to look up an address. She was writing out a new mailing label for a package that could not be delivered as marked. TPL-1647; G42.1-121 (Tacoma Sunday Ledger, magazine section, 12-31-22, p. 4-uncropped photograph)
