Postage Stamps With A Smile
Mail plays an important part in all our lives.
We wait for it, we send for it, we depend on it — we use it —
all ip all, it influences our lives as much as does' the clock.
In this great country of so many privileges, we all too often
take our great postal system for granted.
In pretty much the same way we too often take for granted
the fine folks who stand behind the post office windows and serve
in their capacities as civil servants.
We call special attention to the friendly group who serve the
Mathis community.
We honestly believe that you can go a long way before you
will find a more pleasant or accommodating post office staff than
we have here in our local post office.
While maintaining a rigid respect for all postal regulations, and
requiring at all times that they be observed, by blending an attitude
of friendship with a genuine desire to be of service, Miss Nellie
Magowan and her crew make going to the post office a pleasure.
IThe 3-cent stamp has long been one of the world’s greatest
bargains.
At the Mathis Post Office it is a bargain plus.
We congratulate the whole staff for what we believe can truly
be called “rendering service above and beyond the call of duty.”
