 Pointers to Free Stuff
In the early days of mail delivery in the United States of America (1842-'59) letters were only delivered as far as a post office. Private or semi-official arrangements were made with people who took care of the delivery of letters to or from post offices; they were called carriers. In that period, in many parts of the country there was no house-to-house delivery or collection of mail. The carriers provided a link between the post-office service and the addressee. The Eagle and Franklin stamps were Government issues for such deliveries, but also other stamps provided by the local postmasters were used. Carriers were used in other countries too. © 1999, R.T. van Capelleveen Back to Homepage  Shopping on the Internet Software | Free Classifieds | Free Downloads | Shops Free Stuff | Newsletters |
