we were watching them, we heard a

SHOWS BIG INCREASE
Money Order Business in Local
Post Office Increasing by
Leaps and Bounds
ST., 900 INCREASE in A MONTH


The quarterly report Of the Keno
sha postoffice, which is now being put
into shape for the department., will
show that during the month of May
the Kenosha post Office money order
department made an increase over
last year which will put the Kenosha
Office in the top list of increases.
The report shows that the amount
RENTED to the Milwaukee Office after
paying out all the orders sent to Ke-
nosha people, was $14, 723, while the
amount RENTED under similar cir
cumstances during the month of May
last year was but $3,354, the increase
for this year over last year being
81, 1863. These figures do not repre-
sent the total of the money order bus
mess done in the Kenosha office, as
the postmaster here only RENTS to the
Milwaukee Office the amount received
for orders after he has paid all local
orders. The report shows that the
local Office is a decidedly proftab1
one for the government.
There is lots Of money in Kenosha,
and the Kenosha post Office is being
used as bank by many of the for
eigners employed in the city. Many
of the orders purchased never go out
of the city, but are stored away Just
like certificates of deposit from a
bank.
The foreign order business in the
local office is increasing very rapidly,
until at the present time there are few
cities in the state in which so many
foreign orders are issued. While the
increase for May was not exactly a
normal increase in the money order
business, the increase for each month
of the half year shows that the ad-
vancement of the business of the Ke-
nosha Office has been steady, and no
month shows an increase of less than
one hundred per cent over the bust
ness done in the preceding year.
