背面铭文 1863-1976 The Act of March 3, 1863 authorized the establishments of carrier services at certain offices and free delivery. It provided for the appointment of carriers not to exceed $800 per year. Joseph William Briggs, a window delivery clerk at Cleveland, Ohio is credited with conceiving the idea of free delivery, and acted as the first carrier in that city. Briggs is also credited with de- signing the carrier uniform introduced in 1868. UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE US MAIL
