Postal Receipts
Top Past Year
By 24.8 Percent
Unprecedented Gains
In Business Reflected
By El Reno Figures
An unprecedented amount of bua-
Inesa transactions tn El Reno was
reflected In figures of the 1944
stamp sales at the El Reno post-
office, released today by Jesse W.
Ray don. postmaster.
Kales for tire past year reached an
all-time high of $83.6*4.92. for an
Increase of 24.* percent over the vol-
ume recorded for 1943.
Tilt 1942 50-year high was sur-
passed by I30.1M.28. and the 51-
year high of 1943 was topped by
116.639El. Total stamp aalea In
1942 reached 151519.64. while sales
In 1943 were $87,044.94.
An Increase In 1944 was expected
locally, as Haydon prophesied In
releasing the 1943 figures last Jan-
uary that aales probably would con
tlnue to rise, due to the enormous
Increase in mailing at a result of
wartime conditions. -
Payroll Reseeded
This was the second time that
stamp sales have equalled or ex-
celled the annual payroll at the
postoffice, which averages around
$80,000 per year.
A low for thc postofflce stamp
sales was reached In the depression
year of 1933. which a total of only
$3052356. Sales have been rising
progressively since that year.
A large part of the postoffice's
total revenue Is received during the
month of December, as a result of
Christmas mailing. Haydon pointed
out. Stamp sales for the month of
December 1944 amounted to 638.-
028.14. or an Increase of 23.8 per-
cent over sales for December 1933
which amounted to $21,023.99.
