Today, October 20th 2012, 55th Philatelic Exhibition "Exfilgramenet" in Santa Coloma de Gramenet (nearby Barcelona). On the card, postmark and personalised stamp, there can be seen the skyline of the town, a dove ("coloma" is Catalan for "dove"), and the Catalan flag (four red stripes or "bars" on a golden field). The author of the design is Joaquim Baliarda. It was a small local competition with some 20 entries. A friend of mine and myself acted as juries.   |

Actually, the cancel "ABCD..." is representing one of the later usages of that slogan. The program started in 1963 and ended in 1969, in place a mere six years. No more same day mail delivery anymore! In fact, according to this US Post Office photo and caption, they claimed it was due to the expansion of businesses outside of the city limits:  No more stainless steel mailboxes, either! |
