Don't drop Coin In Nal. Boxes.

Postmasters of the county desire to
call attention to the practice of some
patrons of rnral delivery in placing
loose coins In their boxes each time
they desire to dispatch letters instead
of supplying themse elves with postage
in advance of their needs.
This practice imposes undue hard
ship on rural carriers in removing loose
coins from boxes and delays them on
the service OF their routes.
The post mssters, therefore, urgent.
lY request that patrons of rural deliv-
cry provide themselves and keep on
hand a supply Ct stamps consistent
with and in advance of their needs. 1t
is also very desirable that rural patrons
place in their mail boxes small detach-
able cups of wood or tin in which to
place coins, when necessary, in pur-
chasing supplies of stamps.
