THE NEW POSTOFFICE
WILL BE A BEAUTY

The fixtures and equipment for the
new postoffice arrived here last Satur-
day and are being placed in position.
under the direction of S. A. Van Bus
kirk, who had the contract for all of
the carpentry connected with the
building, which is now practically
completed
| All of the fixtures and furnishings
are from the American Postoffice
Equipment company of Chicago, and
are of the very best class known. They
are of solid quarter-sawed golden oak
and are extremely handsome in ap-
pearance and convenient in arrange
ment. The fittings are unsurpassed in
beauty in any office of the kind in
Colorado and cost approximately
SO, 900.
The new postoffice is thirty-eight by
eighty-six feet In size, inside measure
ment, and has superficial floor space
of S,26S square feet, of which there is
400 square feet of tiling in the lobby.
In convenience and attractiveness the
new postoffice will have no superior
in towns of this class in the west and
will, no doubt, be made the model for
many similar Offices
The boxes are of the Lavery Auto
matte Keyless sort, endorsed by the
government as the best and safest
boxes made. Every time they are
closed the combination is set and they
cannot be reopened without recourse
TO the usual method of unlocking
them. As far as possible, subscribers
lwlll be given the same box number at
the new postofiice that they had at the
old one, in order to minimize the trou-
BILE that will naturally result from the
transfer II, however. 1t should be
lundesirably located, change will be
made on application TO Postmaster
Lewis, after the confusion incident to
the new order of things is over.
1t is the intention to move into the
new pcstoffice next Sunday night, as
the transfer can be made with less dis
turbance of the daily routine of work
then than at any other time. The mails
have to be made up and sent out with
business during the day necessitates
the removal at night in order that
there may be no Interference with the
postal laws.
