Trudge Report: 1957
Washington, D.C., 1957. "Postman delivering issues of U.S. News & World Report." From a series of images showing the production and delivery of that magazine. 35mm negative from the News Photo Archive. View full size.
Still in service.
The postman is in front of the US Post Office building at 50 Massachusetts Avenue, Northeast. The National Post Office Museum is now located in this building, which sits just up from Union Station (out of view to the immediate right).
25 Year Veteran
The star on the Letter Carriers' sleeve denotes that He has 25 or more years of service for the Post Office Department.
When the uniforms changed in 1971 to the U.S.Postal Service, the star was changed to white (silver).
I know. I wore one.
U.S. News & World Report
Known to my high school journalism teacher as "The Magazine for People Who Don't Have Enough to Worry About," in reference to its (for the day) alarmist and pessimistic coverage.
Coming and going
1957 Plymouth on the left, '56 Chevy Bel Air on the right (as though anyone didn't know).
Smoking For Real.
Back in 1960 I started smoking Chesterfield Kings. I'm sure glad I quit after a couple of years or I'm sure I wouldn't be here today.
