The local postoffice was deluged
with parcel post packages the first of
the week, which for time threatened
to impede the handling of the regular
mail. Such large increase in the par
eel postage was caused by the impos-
sibility of sending any freight or ex-
press, owing to the strike situation.
Most of this great rush of parcel
postage was caused by the shipment
of eggs, which were sent by crates
through the mails.
We are now showing nice line of
Ladies Spring Wraps and Suits.
