Collecting mail, US Post Office

SUMMARY The subject is the movement of mail by the US postal service. As the film begins, two types of mail boxes on a pole on the corner of a street can be seen. In the background, away from the camera position, are people going by on foot, as well as horse-drawn and electric streetcar transportation. At the end of the film, a man wearing the uniform of a mailman is seen approaching the mail boxes. He unlocks the boxes and removes the mail from both the small and large boxes.NOTES Copyright: American Mutoscope & Biograph Company; 22Aug03; H34968. Cameraman, AE Weed.
