Double That Of May for Year
Of 1903.

The most remarkable gain shown by
Satisfaction No. / of yne local post
office department, has been in the
past month in the sale of money or
ders. A report Of Mr.. Reeves shows
that the sales of money orders for the
month of May, 1909, have been more
than double the sales for the CORE
spending month in 1908, while a
marked gain is also shown in the sale
of stamps and stamped paper. The
figures are interesting to note for they
show that many people find It ex-
tremely convenient to go to the SUBJ

when the postoffice stamp window is
