Mail Routes and Contractors - Research
"...Most records on mail and star routes have been transferred by the Postal Service to the National Archives and Records Administration in Washington, DC.
The information in Record Group 28 includes registers of mail and star routes from 1814 to 1960, although there are gaps in these records. Records from 1870 to 1918 were destroyed decades ago. The records usually show the names of the stops along the route as mail traveled between Post Offices, the names of the bidders for the contract, the frequency of service, the distances involved, and the modes of transportation.

However, if you were able to hang on for that scary ride and followed the concept of Dollar Cost Averaging, you did well for the year-to-date. Looking at the big picture, the past twelve months provided a healthy return of over 24% for those willing to make the often risky investment in the International Fund. The 'S' Fund trailed in the year-to-date category at over 21%.
