They totaled, et the end of No- vember, $2,198,178, Postmas- ter Hollon R. Bervaldi said today. Sale of stamp stock during the month showed a de- crease, as it had during Oct- ober compared with the same month in 1944, but Mr. Bervaldi explained that the falling off was not due ‘to local business’ conditions, which still are good, butito the fact that so many: hund- reds of ‘service men’ and women heve left Key West since V-J day. While those service people did not have to buy stamps Japs 10. for an ordinary first-class letter, yet, as Mr. Bervaldi pointed out, many of them bought zirmail and _ special delivery stemos and mailed packages and registered let- ters, for all of which they had to pay. Sale of postage stamp stock in November of 1944 totaled $23,573.58, and las‘ month, $14,822.11.
