So far, Independent has served 110 companies in Oklahoma. It expects to do at least $1,100,000 worth of business this year, and has announced plans to expand to Little Rock, Denver, Salt Lake City, Wichita and St. Louis. "Within two years," predicts Co-Founder Hinshaw, "we will be operating in all 50 states." Nor is Independent's ambition limited to third-class mail. Murray and Hinshaw have asked to appear before Congress to propose a takeover of fourth-class parcel post mail. Eventually the organization hopes to handle second-class magazines and newspapers—for which the U.S. Post Office ought to be everlastingly grateful.
