THROW Away THE "OLD BOOK"!
Here IS THE NEW ULTIMATE Real PHOTO LOCATOR!
The "Quondam" photo locator booklet was a reproduction of the 1909 Post Office list, which merely independent mail service offices that operated during that year. It had no information about tens of thousands of post offices that closed before that year or opened afterwards. The OLD booklet was only a reproduction of the 1909 Post Office listing. Unfortunately, the partial information in the OLD booklet results in many postcards being incorrectly identified. Until at present, however, the quondam booklet was the only photo locator available. The NEW, ULTIMATE Photo Locator contains the most comprehensive drove of U.Due south. Postal service Part information ever offered, from the unabridged postcard era - and beyond!
The NEW, ULTIMATE Photograph Locator contains:
- A combined alphabetical listing of Post Offices from all states, showing towns, states, years of performance & counties. Are you lot looking for a town named "Debberie?" Get to the "D" file and yous will see that only one boondocks in the country has always had that name. Are you looking for a town named "Kelker?" Become to the "K" file and yous volition come across that only three towns had that name, and just one of them was in functioning during the top of the postcard era. (By the way, none of these towns is in the Erstwhile photo locator.)
- Individual lists of all 50 states plus Indian Territory & District of Columbia, showing towns, years of operation & counties.
- A combined listing of all U.S. Counties. Are yous looking for Bailey, Bannock or Barnes counties? Each of those county names appears only once on the list. Find out instantly which states they are in.
- Statehood, territorial & Confederate secession dates.
Also: "U.s.a. Mail service Offices on CD-ROM" is upgradable! As more research is washed and corrections are made to data on the existing lists, nosotros intend to make commutation upgrades available. (*NOTE: While Alabama & Georgia accept not been fully researched, this CD includes previously unpublished information for thousands of postal service offices from those two states.)
Hither are some of the many comments that we have received about the ULTIMATE Locator:
- This remains 1 of the all-time investments I have ever made for identifying post offices and the counties they are in! - Don Schiele, N Dakota
- Received the USPO's CD yesterday... what a GREAT reference. I can't imagine how y'all could pursue this every bit either a hobby or business without information technology... I "discovered" how many DPO's I accept, and when sold, (they) volition probably pay for the disk. - C.Grand., Florida
- I am a postcard dealer/collector and file several of my states by county. Until purchasing "U.Due south. Post Offices on CD-ROM," I had to take several large and unwieldy reference books on hand. Now I simply need the ane CD-ROM. As information technology is done in Excel format, I was able to customize it to my specific needs and install information technology on my computer's hard drive. What a fourth dimension saver!!!- Jane Schryver, New York
- "U.South. Post Offices" is similar owning every gazetteer ever printed. I identified over 20 postcards the offset week I endemic it and it has paid for itself many times over in just six months. - Grand.C., Iowa
- We have found the United States Post Offices CD-ROM very useful to united states of america as Postcard Dealers. I know that in that location is a lot more than on the CD-ROM than what nosotros apply, simply it is sure helpful when we are looking for Counties that the towns are located in. We too use it for checking on postmarks to see if they are Dead Mail Offices, and when they opened and closed. It is and so easy to look up the data on the CD-ROM and detect it in a hurry. Cheers again for putting the time into this project and offering information technology to collectors and dealers alike. - J.Thou. & S.Chiliad., Indiana
