These mail volumns are staggering. Unless I'm mistaken, the Brooklyn depicted is one of the five Boroughs which make up New York City. Being from Brooklyn, I know just how large it is, and its mail volume speaks to this.

Why hasn't someone given these figures and some type of visual analogy to the press so folks get an idea that other people and companies are using the mail!
For example: How far would a string of postcards reach?
