A recent inspection of the two rural
mail routes out of Askov reveals that
quite a number of boxes are in a
rather dilapidated condition, the sup
ports are weak or crooked, boxes not
painted, name of owner not on box,
many are too low, etc. The proper
height of the box is 4 to Az feet, it
should be painted white and the name
of the owner lettered in black, and
mounted on a rigid support. Your
mail box gives the visitor his first
impression of you-make it a good
one. A recent ruling of the postal
department is to the effect that on
and after July 1, this year, only the
No. size boxes may be erected on
rural routes.
