The Future In Philately - Stamp Collection

While the use of the letter mail has declined due to the e-mail, WILL and cell phones, the volume of parcel mail and mail articles consisting of small and large business packets and magazines or journals has rapidly increased the world over. The use of the postage stamp for these forms of mail will continue and certainly so, so long as the Post Office is in existence.

While couriers have made great strides, yet, in all countries of the world a national postal service has been found to be vitally essential in order to cover the length and breadth of the country for mail collection and delivery, for penetration into the interiors of rural countryside and for other sectors or special services which the couriers find to be non-profitable. Thus prospects for the postage stamp will continue always as ever to be bright and it is quite possible that newer roles for them will arise in the future.
