All POstmasters Are Told
To Clean Up Their Offices

"Clean up your postofices,"
is the gist of instructions sent
by the Postoffice Department
to all postmasters.
'The public likes to see a
postofice lobby look as well rs
the lobby of a bank" says
John H. Bartlett, First Assis-
tant Postmaster General in a
circular letter to postmasters.
"It is where they transact
their very important business.
If the postmaster makes it his
personal business to attend to
this we can expect a great i'm
provement. Let us see if we
can not keep our places of
business in a lite better shape,
as well as doing our business
a little better than formerly"
Suggestions for the cleaning
UP process are included in the
circular letter, such as replac-
ing obsolete posters with clean
ones and repairing bad floors.
