BIG INCREASE IN POST
OFFICE BUSINESS
fownspeopIe Inspect the Interior OF
the Building Skowhegan
fIourlshIng

A large number of towpspeopie took
advantage of the courtesy OF Post
master s. W. Gould and the force of
Jerks to inspect the post Office build
ng on Saturday evening. The hours
we're from seven to nine. Since the
,uilding was erected. it has never
,een thrown open to the public and
{ was deemed advisable that this op
'ortunisy be given the towuspeople to
inspect the modern interior equip
nent. 1t WAS especially opportune at
his time since it was through the
efforts of Postmaster Gould when he
was serving this district as Congress-
nan at Washington that the necessary
appropriation for building the struc-
ure was obtained. There has been a
great increase in business since the
lew building was erected. the increase
his year over last being probably 20
YER cent, which goes to show that
business ger orally in Skowhegan Is
'lourishing In spite of the general de-
,ression felt in many places. The
1ew postmaster. w. r. Elliott. has
lot yet taken over the duties of his
office.
