he would otherwise be. Her influence

they were blighted by drudgery and
unhappiness.
Better, financial conditions have
contributed to this change, and the
dairy cow has been in no small meas

in still another way. The dairy COW
teaches kindness. Her owner soon
learns that only by treating her kind

Postmaster BuPkit
Aims 10 Improve
The Mail Service

Palestine, Texas, Nov. 10, 1870
requested to cooperate with the post
office department by complying with
the suggestions set forth below. 1t is
desired that these suggestions be fol-
lowed by both residences and business
houses that are served by city car
riers:
By direction of the postoffice 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
a 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 great convenience to the
householder, obyiating the necessity
of responding to the carriers call at
inconvenient 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 reasonable time, and enable |
him to make deliveries to patrons |
living on or near the end of the route |
at an earlier hour.
1t has been shown by actual ex
perience that the benefits derived by
patrons 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 appre-
ciated.
Respectfully,
Geo. w. Burkitt, Jr.,
Postmaster.
Note.-Neither the postmaster nor
any of his subordinates is authorized
TO act as agent for boxes.
