call attention to the practice OF some
patrons Of rural delivery Of placing
loose coins in their boxes each time
they desire to dispatch letters, instead
OF supplying themselves with postage
IN advance of their needs. This
practice imposes undue hardship on
rural carriers in removing loose coins
from boxes and delays them on the
service Of their routes. The post
master, therefore, urgently requests
that patrons Of rural delivery provide
themselves and keep on hand supply
Of stamps consistent with and In
advance Of their needs.
