Stamps on Haral Routes
Postmaster G. M. Boal desires to
call attention to the practice of some
patrons of rural delivery of placing
loose colons in their boxes esch lime
they desire to dispatch letters instead
of supplying themselves with postage
in advance of their needs,
This practice imposes undue hard-
ship on rural carriers in removiog
ioose coins from boxes and delays
them on the service of their routes.
The postmaster, at the solicitation of
the Postoffice Department, therefore,
urgently requests that patrons of Maral
delivery provide themselves and keep
ou hand a supply of stamps consistent
with and in advance of their needs. It
is also very desirable that rural patrons
place in their mail boxes small de
tachable caps of wood or tin in which
to place coins, when necessary, in pur-
chasing supplies of stamps.
