taken by Postmaster Harry Merts.
Borne of thj equipment is stored
fti the’ new building. The rest is
crowded into the quarters at 117
8. Broadway.
One of the strangest articles
stored at the latter place is a hea-
Ty iron wheelbarrow. A visitor not-
ing the barir.w could think of but
One use for It—trundling bulky
Christmas mail around the office.
But the vehicle has no connec-
tion with sorting mail. It is to be
used by the gardener whose job it
will be to keep the grounds around
the new building in attractive or-
der.
Desks and chairs, sorting tables,
general delivery eheTVqs, new box-
es and drawers, numerous other
articles are still in tHeir wrap-
pings, awaiting the day when Un-
cles Sam puts the finishing touch-
es to his new building.
