FREE DELIVERY TO
START PROMPTLY
Ask Your Correspondents to Address
Your Mail Matter to Your Street
and House Number.

In one month and one day from
this date will commence the free de-
livery of mail in the city of Grants
Pass, that is on the 18th day of June
next Postmaster Donnell has been
kept busy from the time that free
delivery was ordered up to the pres
ent and his task is not yet fully COM
pleted.
The carriers have not yet been
named but will be within a very
short time, and as soon as this is
done the Postmaster will announce
them.
Our citizens have one important
matter to look after and that is to
write their correspondents to address
all mail matter to their street and
house number. This is highly i'm
portant and no time should be lost
in giving it attention. If mail comes
to you without being properly ad-
dressed there must of necessity be
delay. Have every member of your
family who writes letters fully in
structed regarding this.
There will be two deliveries daily
one in the forenoon and another in
the afternoon. There will be no de-
liveries on Sunday or on holidays,
but the carriers will be at the post
office windows on such occasions
from to o'clock p. m.
All persons within the limits of
the districts will be served by car
riers if requested.
