To r. F. b. Patrons.

Postmaster G. A. Pannewitz
desires to call attention to the
practice of some patrons of rural
delivery of placing loose coins in
dheir boxes each time they de-
sire to dispatch letters instead of
supplying themselves with post
age in advance of their needs.
This practice imposes undue
hardship on rural carriers in re-
moving loose coins from boxes
and delays them on the service of
their routes.
The postmaster, therefore, ur-
gently requests that patrons of
rural delivery provide them
selves and keep on hand a supply
of stamps consistent with and
in advance of their needs. 1t is
also very desirable that rural pa.
irons place in their mail boxes
small detachable cups of wood OF
tin in which to place coins, when
necessary, in purchasing sup
| plies Of stamps.
