very handsome, and the building and
equipment would do credit to a town
twice the size of Bamberg, in fact
there will be no better postoffice in
the State, except the government
| buildings.
1t is hoped the postofice can be
moved to the new building the lat
ter part of next week. AS soon as
the fixtures are installed the tiling
in the lobby will be laid, and as soon
as this is finished and allowed to
set" we'll, the office will be moved, if
there are no more delays. The post
master will be at the new building
| for several days this week for the
purpose of allowing patrons to Sc
| lect their boxes in the new building.
A notice giving his hours there will
be posted at the present office, and
patrons are urged to meet him and
select their boxes.
When the postoffice is moved to
it's new location the postmaster, real
izing that no business can be prop
erly conducted without some system,
will endeavor to systematic the mat
tiers of the Office, and patrons are
urged to cooperate with him. We
want to give good service, but how
can we serve the public satisfactorily
during the rush hours if we are call
ed on to hand out so much mail from
lock boxes, when we should be SELL
ing stamps, writing money orders,
weighing and stamping packages, de-
livering packages, etc. Often we are
compelled to keep patrons waiting
on these things because we are kept
on the run handling mail from lock
boxes We have both combination
and key boxes in the new equipment,
plenty for everybody, and if more are
needed we will buy them. There
will be no excuse for anybody not
having lock box, and if they want
the key boxes, we have plenty of
keys. So please cooperate with us
and either know your combination
or bring your key. Don't ask us to
hand out your mail from box. We
will have no call boxes.
Another thing: Watch the win
dows in the new postoffice and come
to the right window. If you want to
buy stamps, come to the stamp win
dow; if money order,, you can be
served only at the money order win
dow; general delivery mail will be
delivered only at the general deliv-
cry window, and parcel post pack
ages and registered mail will be re-
ceived and delivered at that win
dow. Due letters will be delivered
at the stamp window. There will be
four windows for the postoffice, and
there will also be a window at which

They will not receive mail at the
Office, only deliver it. If you have
mail or packages for any of the
routes, the postmaster or clerks will
serve you. Don't go to the carriers
window. If a window is down, you
will not be served there, so it is no
use to ask US. We must have hours,
and the public will have due notice
of them.
We want to give good service, and
to serve the public to the best ad-
vantage we must have system.
There can be no favorites, the hum
blest citizen is entitled to the same
service as the wealthiest man. So,
if the patrons will remember this and
give US their cooperation, We feel
sure they will have no cause to COM
plain of the service rendered. If you
have any complaint to make, come to
us or the clerks; don't go over town
telling other people about it. That
does no good; they can't help you.
If you really want better service,
come to us with any suggestions or
complaints.
Until further notice our office hours
will be: Open at s a. m. and re-
main open until p. m, at which
hour the general delivery window
and money order window will posi-
lively close. The stamp window will
also close at that hour and remain
closed until the accounts for the day
can be balanced, which will take pos
sibly twenty minutes. No stamps
will be sold while the accounts are
being balanced, but as soon as this
is done the stamp window will again
be opened and remain open until
seven O'Clock, when the office will be
closed. The general delivery, stamp
window and parcel post window will
again be opened for ten minutes after
