BOOMING SORRENTO.
Postmaster Trundy Handling Tons of
Mail Matter.

Sorrento, April 6 (speciaD The
Charles A. Mann Realty Corporation
of New York and Sorrento, which
has recently purchased a large lot of
land and several cottages at Sor-
rento, has started an advertising
campaign on Sorrento and the State
of Maine, that will bring it to the
notice of thousands.
For several weeks there has been
a radio broadcast about Maine from
station WIN, at New York, on Friday
nights at o'clock, when well-known
speakers from the State have told of
Maine and it's many attractions as a
vacation land, and it's wonderful
coast line, in which Sorrento has been
called the Gem of the Atlantic
Coast" 1T has many attractions that
must be seen to be fully appreciated
and realized.
The Charles A. Mann Corp. is Of
fering two free trips around the
world to the persons who present to
them the twelve best photos taken
at Sorrento, and also for the best es-
say written about Sorrento.
Last week the Mann Corporation
delivered to the postoffice at Sorrento
truck load, over $4,000 pieces, of
third-class mail, to be sent out from
that office, telling about the free trips
offered; also some pictures and facts
about Sorrento that would be very in
teresting to anyone receiving them.
This is large amount of mail for a
fourth-class Office of a small town to
handle, but Postmaster Frank l..
Trundy and his assistants are equal
to the task, and are dispatching this
matter as fast as possible, working
early and late. AS this lot of mail
weighs over three tons, it will take
several days to complete the mailing.
