PEOPLE URGED TO PROVIDE
PROPER MAIL RECEPTACLES

Pendleton patrons of the govern
ment's free city mail delivery system
are being urged to provide proper re-
tceptacles for their mail. The follow
ing circular is being sent out by
Postmaster Brown to local residents:
BY direction of the Post Office De-
partment, the attention of patrons Of
this office is invited TO the advantages
of providing facilities for the receipt
OF their mail by erecting conveniently
accessible boxes or cutting suitable
slots in their doors. Such action
would enable the postmaster to give
q prompter and better delivery SER
vice with the means at his disposal,
since the carriers can cover much
more territory in less time If not COM
PEELED to wait for an answer to their
ring. Private receptacles for mail are
also n great convenience to the house.
holder, obviating the necessity of re-
spending to the carriers call at in
convenient moments and permitting
the safe delivery of mail in the abb
sence of members of the household.
They also prevent the occasional ne
cessity of a carriers proceeding on
his route without delivering mail be-
cause of failure TO answer his ring
within a reasonable time, and enable
him to make deliveries to patrons liv-
ing on or near the end of the route at
an earlier hour.
1t has been shown by actual exper-
ience that the benefits derived by pat
rons of city delivery from the use of
such receptacles far outweigh the
small expense involved. AS this Of
flee is interested in furnishing the
best possible service at the least ex-
pense, your compliance with the fore
going suggestions will be much ap-
preciated.
