    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 281 820 SO 018 202 TITLE We Deliver: The Story of the U.S. Postal Service. INSTITUTION Postal Service, Washington, DC. PUB DATE 80 NOTE 25p.; Illustrations will not reproduce clearly. PUB TYPE Historical Materials (060) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC01 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS Government Employees; Government Role; *Public Agencies;_ United States History IDENTIFIERS *PoStal Service ABSTRACT This eight-chapter illustrated booklet chronicles the history of the U.S. Post Office from its establishment by the Continental Congress in 1775 to the present. Chapter 1, "The Colonists," describes the postal service before the Revolutionary War. Benjamin Franklin's appointment as the first Postmaster General of the U.S. and his many contributions to the postal serviceare covered in Chapter 2, "Father of the U.S. Postal Service." Chapter 3, "The Revolution and After," portrays the huge increase that occurred in the U.S. population from the time of Andrew Jackson to the Civil War, the resulting huge increase in mail volume that occurred, and the actions the postal system took to overcome the problems. In Chapter 4, "The Pony Express," the 18-month life span of the pony express is chronicled as are the reasons for its demise. Two Postmaster Generals, Montgomery Blair and John Wanamaker, are portrayed in Chapter 5, "Two Postal Titans." These two men provided leadership which resulted in improved employee attitudes and new services to customers, such as free rural delivery and pneumatic tubes. Chapter 6, "Postal Stamps," tells the history of the postage stamp, and how a stamp is developed. Chapter 7, "Moving the Mail," presents a history of the mail service and the different modes of transportation on which it depends.

Stroh was reviewed and approved* by the following: Deryck W. Holdsworth Professor of Geography Thesis Adviser Roger M.

ABSTRACT RESTRUCTURING DEPARTMENT STORE GEOGRAPHIES: THE LEGACIES OF EXPANSION AND CONSOLIDATION IN PHILADELPHIA’S JOHN WANAMAKER AND STRAWBRIDGE & CLOTHIER, 1860-1960 Consolidation in the retail sector continues to restructure the department store, and the legacies of earlier forms of the department store laid the foundation for this consolidation. Using John Wanamaker’s and Strawbridge & Clothier, antecedents of Macy’s stores in Philadelphia, I undertake a case study of the development, through expansion and consolidation, which led to a homogenized department store retail market in the Philadelphia region. I employ archival materials, biographies and histories, and annual reports to document and characterize the development and restructuring Philadelphia’s department stores during three distinct phases: early expansions, the first consolidations into national corporations, and expansion through branch stores and into suburban shopping malls. In closing, I characterize the processes and structural legacies which department stores inherited by the latter half of the 20th century, as these legacies are foundational to national-scale retail homogenization.

    OFFICERS OF THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH OF THE GOVERNMENT [ 1 ] EXPLANATORY NOTE A Cabinet officer is not appointed for a fixed term and does not necessarily go out of office with the President who made the appointment. While it is customary to tender one’s resignation at the time a change of administration takes place, officers remain formally at the head of their department until a successor is appointed. Subordinates acting temporarily as heads of departments are not con- sidered Cabinet officers, and in the earlier period of the Nation’s history not all Cabinet officers were heads of executive departments. The names of all those exercising the duties and bearing the respon- sibilities of the executive departments, together with the period of service, are incorporated in the lists that follow. The dates immediately following the names of executive officers are those upon which commis- sions were issued, unless otherwise specifically noted. Where periods of time are indicated by dates as, for instance, March 4, 1793, to March 3, 1797, both such dates are included as portions of the time period. On occasions when there was a vacancy in the Vice Presidency, the President pro tem- pore is listed as the presiding officer of the Senate. The Twentieth Amendment to the Constitution (effective Oct. 15, 1933) changed the terms of the President and Vice President to end at noon on the 20th day of January and the terms of Senators and Representatives to end at noon on the 3d day of January when the terms of their successors shall begin. [ 2 ] EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, 1789–2005 First Administration of GEORGE WASHINGTON APRIL 30, 1789, TO MARCH 3, 1793 PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES—GEORGE WASHINGTON, of Virginia.

    5. Boundary Description The Grand Court of the former John Wanamaker Store at 1301-25 Chestnut Street is a seven- story open interior volume measuring approximately 122 feet long by 66 feet wide and 150 feet high. The clear-span area is enclosed by a ground-floor perimeter arcade and upper-floor colonnade walls rising the full height of the space. The boundaries of this nomination include the entire Grand Court volume from floor to ceiling; the inner, outer, and intrados surfaces of the ground-floor arcade; the inward and lateral-facing surfaces of the upper-floor columns and colonnade walls; the architectural elements that span between and in plane with these columns; and all components of the Wanamaker Organ visible from within the Court, including the organ console located in the middle bay of the east second-floor gallery. These boundaries exclude the outer faces of the upper-floor colonnade walls and those portions of the Wanamaker Organ that are not visible from within the Court. This defined Grand Court area satisfies the definition of a public interior eligible for historic designation as set forth in the Philadelphia Historic Preservation Ordinance and defined in the Philadelphia Zoning Code, §14-203 (252) as “an interior portion of a building or structure that is, or was designed to be, customarily open or accessible to the public, including by invitation,” and which retains “a substantial portion of the features reflecting design for public use.” The visible Wanamaker Organ components satisfy the definition of fixtures of a public interior space as set forth in the Philadelphia Historical Commission Rules and Regulations 2.10.
