Original Toronto Star caption: Reading other people's mail is all in the day's work for Marion Hubel; one of 21 persons in the Undeliverable Mail office at the Front Street Post Office. Improperly addressed letters are opened; if there's no return address; for clues as to where they came from. One such letter contained a bullet.
