Wonderfully antiquated film about what the Mainman does, which appareantly was more involved when this film was made, because not only is the mailman sorting his own mail, he's like bundling it too. All of this is seperated nowadays (right? so this was really interesting. Rural postmen are also highlighted too. Seems the mainman could do anything from his car, from weighing to handling money orders. People were also allowed to mail live animals in those days, according to this film. Super interesting and highly reccomended!
