Gam NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. -s-lslS
The receipts for the month OF Dc
cember will be about $4,000, which Is
the largest business in the history of
the local office.
Within the last eighteen months the
post office has lost at least $4,000 on
account OF the removal of the offices
of the Rumely Co, and the taking
over of the sales department of the
American Seeding Machine Co, by
the International Harvester Co, and
after overcoming this loss the bush
ness still shows an increase of over
$4,000 for that period. This indicates
that the other business of the city has
increased greatly.
Parcel Post a Factor.
The parcel post feature will also ac-
count for some of this increase. The
work was started in January OF the
present year with carrier delivering
on foot for about two hours per day.
Ii now requires the full time of one
man for about nine hours and the use
of horse and wagon.
