KEEP FORWARDES COMING ...

 Alicia S. Gutiérrez
from Mexicana, Journal of MEPSI, January 1991
compiled by Jaime Benavides

I was very pleased with Gregory Todd's "Adittios" and amendments to my article on the forwarders in Mexico. I wish other philatelists will share their knowledge on this fascinating area of Mexican postal history. Before going further, some updates need to be made to the record previously presented In the updates below bold lettering indicate the change.

COLIMA

There is another name before Schmilensky: Which is it? Rein ...? The third name in the handstamp is "Schacht", not "Schact".

MEXICO CITY

Juan A. Bennet: both illustration and caption read  "SuGesor". It should read "SuCesor".

SAN LUIS POTOSI

It says "Mayor de Parray Varona". It should read "Mayor de Parra y Varona" (Parra and Varona).

TAMPICO

The mss. "Clanssen" must be "Calussen et Frères".

VERACRUZ

Both listing and caption, add "& Co." to "F. Formento". Both listing and caption read "F. Nyron Wittenez Y Cía." It should read F Neron, Wittenez y Cía." The "USIAH" is definitely a por or malformed impression of "USLAR" apparently applied on the envelope flap. Uslar´s full name was Hermann Uslar, a German physician.

Here are some new and revised listings.
