USAGE

In those times without airplanes, telephones, telegraph and certainly email letters were the most popular if not only method of long distance communication. The mail was divided into several forms of letters or packages that may be of interest. The most obvious is general communication, but that form is essentially what this presentation is about. This section will deal with the out-of-ordinary usage that made the letters or packages more interesting because of the colorful and different markings.
