will oe seen by a glance at the above il
lustration, the box is mounted on pivot
ed sliding bar, while the collector is pro-
vided with a. hook, with which he en-
cages the box, pulling it within easy
reach and allowing him to extract the
contents after which the box is pushed
back to its normal position in contact
with the vertical post. The Invention
should prove especially advantageous in
the establishment of the free rural de-
livery system, boxes of smaller size
being provided for this purpose. By driv-
ing close to the box with the wagon the
contents may be extracted without eX-
posture to rain or snow, and this also en-
abes the driver to perform his duties
without exposing himself to the storm.
