It seems that in the late 50s and early 60s there were USPS outlets in popular department stores. Interesting bit of trivia, don't you think?
I remember in the UK, when I went shopping with Mum, there were Post Offices counters in two of the big stores in town. They looked rather cute if my memory serves me well.
Also, one could buy good selections of British and foreign stamps from many big stores and newsagents. Some even had small collectors corners !
Now there isn't one place to buy stamps in the whole of the town. Only the monthly stamp fair at the Chelmsford Stamp Club !
Even the Main Post Office [stuck inside a newsagents] does not sell anything other than Machins and Postage labels !
A sign of the times.
