= l have contacted our two local
! hardware stores in McConnelsyille,
/ asking them to place a retail price
on mail boxes to the patrons of the
! local routes. They have responded
/ by each naming the following prices
! which are very reasonably on the
above described boxes: Prices at
/ the Morris Hardware Company or
Standard Supply Company, on No. !
box, S5c; No. 2 box. $1.85. These
prices include the printing of own
ers name on box.
We have placed a sample of these
boxes in the window of the McCon-
nelsville post office, not for the pur-
pose of soliciting sales, but to give
an idea regarding the erection and
especially the bracing Of the post,
on which the box is placed. If your
mail box is old, but still meets with
the requirements of the law. why
not replace it on a new, straight
post, paint the box and post white,
and ask someone that is handy with
brush to paint your name on the
box. / do not know of anything
that adds to or improves the looks
Of a community 50 much for the
same expenditure of money and Ia
Dor as good mail boxes erected on
straight, we'll braced, painted white
posts. and the name Of the owner
neatly printed on the box II. w.
