Induced railroads to rearrange schedules, speeding up mail four to six hours. And that isn't all of it. Purdy figured that a special parcel poSt service to Lake Minnetonka, the summer resort 15 miles from the city, would pav dividends in cash as well as comfort Answer: Ten trucks curry all kinds of supplies from the city to the resort. Return ing, they bring produce from the country to city corsumers. More than that, just to overlook no opportunity for service, Purdy instructed the parcel post men to weigh babies for any mothers at whose home they stopped. So all the babies along the routes can be weighed regularly und their moth ers can know definitely whether tiiey are gaining or losing. J J Purdy's latest innovation was to , J install phonograph music for the night force. I . "They'll not only work Taster, but they'll be happier," he said. "From midnight to morning are dismal hours; music will cheer the boys up a bit." It did and the work has speeded up no per cent. THEY'RE IN TOWN. Put tlMS dowiniiini black aimd white! more wicks.
