In 1912 the money order bust
ness done by the Punta Gorda
post Office in the one month of
November amounted to $3343.01
and the stamp sales were $288. rs.
During the corresponding month
of this year the money order bus
mess has amounted to $4145. 10
and the stamp sales have been
$314.13. This gives an idea of
the volume of patronage the mail
order houses are getting from

of so much money is the most SER
ious impeachment to the. growth
