GOOD INCREASE SHOWN
Business of 0skalO0sa Post Office
Growing Right Along.

The business of the Oskaloosa post
Office for the quarter closing March
81, 1911, shows the usual increase
over the same quarter of last year.
The growth of the business has been
gradual, but constant and clearly in
dicates a healthful growth for the
city over and above the records of
previous years.
For the first quarter of the year
1911 the Office, outside of the money
order and registry departments,
shows total business of s9,028.54.
The receipts for the same quarter OF
1910 amounted to s8,902.65.
This ratio OF business increase is
maintained from quarter TO quarter,
sometimes more than others, but al.
ways showing fixed ratio of new
business.
The business transacted in the post
Office is fairly good indication of
the growth of place and the fact
that the receipts of the Oskaloosa
Office are greater than those of 9th.
er places OF the same class tends 10
prove that there was something the
matter with our census figures.
