RURAL NAIL BOXES.
Some Valuable Suggestions about

1t is the desire OF the Post Office
Department that postmasters ear

cries out Of their Offices to pain: their
boxes and the posts to which :aey
are attacked a pure white color. This
course. II pursued. will not only re-
suit IN benefit to the patron IL ser
wing TO protect his box aud post
from damage by the weather. bu. -!ll
give all boxes uniform color and
serve to fix their identity in all parts
OF the country as United STATS mail
boxes, and will give ,hem much
neater and s!ghtlier appearance thai
they now possess. It is also de irej
that patrons be induced to imprin.
their names and box numbers in
black block letters about two inches
high
It is also desired that pCStmasters
endeavor to induce road officials 90
paint upon the posts OF boxes which
are located at crossroads (but not
attach signs thereto) the names OF
the towns or villages to whicn :ne
crossroads lead. with an indicator
showing the direction.
Posts to which boxes should al
