POSTAL IMPROVE
MENT WEEK
The week of May Ist to 6th has
been designated ‘‘Postal Improve
ment Week.” During that week, it
is desired to do everything possible
to improve the postal service in
Barnesville and to that end, I want
every patron of the service to give
me any suggestion that will help.
The postal service is a machine
composed of human units and as hu
mans we cannot always see our own
mistakes. For that reason, we would
like to know the mistakes that others
have seen us make in order that we '
may try to correct our ways in the
interest of better service.
If you have a suggestion or any
constructive criticism let the post
master know about it.
Sincerely yours,
C. P. GRADDICK.

AN ANNOUNCEMENT
In the policy which governs our relations with
our customers, there are three principles
which we believe are vital:
PRICE: The honest pricing of merchan
dise, to allow a fair profit and no
more;
QUALITY: Dependable goods, backed by
the responsibility of a national
manufacturer;
SERVICE: A sincere attention to the indi
vidual, which subordinates sell
ing to service.
In putting these principles above all others,
we must depend for success on your apprecia
tion of fair dealing. Will you not give us an
opportunity to vindicate our policy?
