Postmaster Myers has received a
letter from the postoffice department
at Washington instructing him to
make certain requests on the rural
delivery routes. Among the things
recommended for the patrons to do is
to paint their boxes and the posts to
which they are attached pure white
color. This will not only benefit the
patron In saving both box and post
from damage by the weather, but will
give all boxes uniform color and
serve to fix their identity in all parts
OF the country as United States mail
boxes and give them much neater
and sightlier appearance than they
