In those DAYS the farmers mail
consisted largely Of communication
from relatives and friends. Today
the daily mail includes, usually on the

and magazines, and business letters
from the village merchant and the

The rural carrier is the farmers
post Office and his agent. Through
him he conducts transactions for the
sale Of his live stock, grain, and other
farm produce. From him he buys
stamps and pays his bills by postal
money order. In short, the letter
carrier is the medium that has trans
formed the once secluded habitant OF
rural district into cosmopolitan cit
izen, conversant with current affairs
and occupying a larger place in the
destinies Of great nation.
