Going on a walk on their day off, a thousand uniformed postmen form in ranks as they parade through the streets of Philadelphia to take part in the formal dedication of the City of Brothery Love’s new post office building. Postmaster General James A. Farley, and, the Hon. Joseph F. Gallagher Postmaster of Philadelphia were among the dignitaries who spoke at the ceremonies.
