**Summer Uniform: A Snapshot of Postal Tel. Co.'s Young Messenger Boys** In this photograph taken between c1910 and c1915, a young messenger boy proudly poses in his summer uniform for the Postal Telegraph Company (now known as USPS). The image is courtesy of Bain News Service, one of America's most renowned press photography agencies during the early 20th century. The youngster stands tall, looking directly at the camera with an air of confidence and responsibility. His crisp white shirt and dark trousers are neatly pressed, reflecting his pride in representing this esteemed organization. A small badge on his chest bears the company logo, symbolizing his commitment to delivering vital messages across America's vast distances. This photograph not only showcases a young boy doing his part for the postal service but also highlights the importance of communication during an era when telegrams and letters were essential means of connecting people from coast to coast. The image is a testament to the dedication and hard work of these early messenger boys, who played a vital role in shaping America's infrastructure. The photograph itself was taken using Bain News Service's state-of-the-art glass negative technology, resulting in an exceptional level of detail and contrast that has been preserved for generations to come. This rare glimpse into postal history is now part of the esteemed Heritage Images collection, offering us a unique window into the past when communication relied on human effort rather than modern digital means.
