SCHOOL BOYS WILL AID
LETTER BOX CAMPAIGN
Youngsters Plan to Sell and Install
Receptacles at Residences
Throuvhout City.

A number OF high school students and
the larger boys In the graded schools
are planning to take advantage OF the
campaign to be promoted by the local
postofhce next week for the erection Of
mail receptacles in homes. They are
making arrangements with hardware
dealers whereby they Will canvass from
house to house, taking orders for letter
boxes and letter drops. These orders
will be filed on the following day and
the mail receptacles properly placed.
Mail boxes viii be sold and put up
by the boys at slight advance over the
prices OF the hardware store and depart
ment store. The householders will gladly
pay this advance In price IN order to
Obviate the necessity Of going to a store
to purchase boxes, and this arrange
ment includes the erection of the re-
ceptacles. Since the postofice has al
ready advised all residents Of the ad-
vantages derived from the use Of mail
boxes, It is believed that each boy will
have very little dif1culty after school
each evening to take orders for ten or
fifteen boxes.
