"Shop no and mail ea'rly for early delivejy, urges Mr?. Tbelma Dickey, ! locaL postmaster, as there will bo no mail delivery on Sunday \>r Monday, ! December 26th and 26th, according to a bulletin received here a few days ago from the Post Of fie.- Dcpart I ment. During the holiday time the volume ol mail increases approximately 200 per cent. It is n physical impossi bility to handle this great mass of mail matter efficiently and promptly within a few days. Therefore to assure delivery of their Christmas presents, cards, and letters by Christ ma ? Day the public should SHOP AND MAIL EARLY. Do your ChriHmas shopping so that you can mail your Rifts, greetings, and let tors to relatives, friends, and loved I ones at least a week or 10 days be fore Christmas, according to the dis tance. This will not only make it certain that they are received before Christmas Day, but will be a great aid to your postal service and to postal employees and enable them to spend the Christmas holiday with their families.
