Postmaster Il. l.. Robinson desires
to call attention to the practice of
some patrons of rural delivery of
placing loose coins in their boxes
each time they desire to dispatch let
ters instead of supplying themselves
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.
Inc postmaster, therefore, urgently
requests that patrons of rural deliv-
cry provide themselves and keep on
hand a supply of stamps consistent
with and in advance of their needs.
II is also very desirable that rural
patrons place in their mail boxes
small detachable cups OF wood or tin
in which to place coins. when neces-
sary. in purchasing supplies Of
stamps.
