The new stamp window for the
postoffice has arrived and will be placed
in position, to the right of the General
Delivery window, at once. This will
give the office every modern appoint
ment for convenience and quick service.
1t is certainly fine office, but we note
with regret the slovenly and careless
manner, with which it is conducted
When Mr. Goddard moved into the
new office, he found the best equip,
ments that money could buy, plenty
of room, light and every possible con-
venience. But an observer now might
find the interior veritable dump-shop.
With the walls covered with cob-webs,
windows dirty, and piles of rubbish
scattered about, it does not bear re-
to its condition three months
ago. 1t is a disgrace to the city to find
it thus, and it is daily becoming more
evident that Mr.. Goddard holds this
position merely as a support to his
business, which gets his
attention. 1t is the general expression
that the mail service never was worse
than at present, when all these new
for speedy transmission of
mails have been provided. Let the
wake up, devote at least a
few moments each day to this So, 400
job, give proper service, and he will !
hear no complaints, which now come
In from all sides.

Bad management keeps more people

look ahead so that when favorable op-
portunity presents itself he is ready to
take advantage OF it. A little fore
thought will also save much expense

careful man will keep bottle of Cham
