The History:
The United States Postal Service (USPS) has a rich history of innovation, and the early 20th century was a period of rapid evolution. As cities expanded and mail volume surged, the need for efficient, rapid mail delivery became paramount. The "street mail car" or "mail wagon" was a vital tool, a bridge between the post office, train stations, and local delivery routes. These vehicles, often horse-drawn in this era, were essential for sorting and transporting mail, ensuring that letters and packages reached their destinations promptly. This particular footage from 1903 captures the essence of that time, showcasing the design and function of these workhorses of the postal service. The video details how these vehicles operated, from the uniforms of the postal workers to the specific features of the wagon itself.
