Parcel Post Truck, 1914

New White Motor Company parcel post mail truck, 1914. Parcel post is a postal service for mail that is too heavy for normal letter post. It is usually slower than letter post. The development of the parcel post is closely connected with the development of the railway network which enabled parcels to be carried in bulk, to a regular schedule and at economic prices. Parcel Post service began on January 1, 1913, and was an instant success, with 300 million parcels mailed in the first six months alone. The effect on the national economy was electric - the year the service began, Sears, Roebuck and Company handled five times as many orders as it did the year before.
