Scope and content
The weeks just before Christmas are always the busiest time of the year at Tacoma's U.S. Post Offices. In December of 1948 the parcel post station at 1102 A Street was packed with carts, sacks of mail, and boxes, including several containing live baby chicks. Attempting to maintain some kind of order in the apparent chaos are, in no particular order, Frank N. Carbone, Ralph Cole, Lee Polkinghorn, Joseph Pawelak, Ben Arnett, John Norris, Marshall Dorfner, Carl Berger, Allen Crary, Carl Sharpe and Ockey McDougal. (T. Times, 12/12/48, p. 1). TPL-8103,
