NEW MAIL SERVICE ON
ANO AFTER FEB. 24TH
New Territory Acquired By
Annexation to Have Free De
livery. Just Install a Mail
Box.
The new territory acquired by the
city by the annexation of Summer
ville and other suburbs will on and
wfter February 24th, 1914, be pro
vided with a better deliverev of mail,
according to announcement made last
night from the Augusta postofflce.
The city free delivery does not ex
tend to this part of the city, but will
as soon as the new service Is put
into effect. The new service will in
no way alter the service now in force
in the other parts of the city.
“Our orders from the bureau,” says
Postmaster Murphy, "are to not ex
tend the free delivery to residences
or stores which are not provided with
•private mail receptacles. Carriers
are to deliver mail to these private
boxes Carriers will collect mail
from them only when they have mail
to deliver to them. Properly, mail
for collection belongs in the street
letter boxes.”
The Augusta office makes this
statement:
“On Hill mall, as well as on city
mail, the service is for correctly ad
dressed mail. The service is bo
planned that on a letter showing
street address there Is first atten
tion. Letters simply addressed The
Hill’ or ‘city’ or ‘Augusta, Ga.’ are
held over half a day or a day. In order
that the directions may be searched
by clerks, in order to locate the exact
place of address of addressee. , ‘
“Hill streets are now named and
Hill homes are now numbered. Use
these names and numbers. If not,
you get the second service mentioned.
If you do, you get the first, and save
a day or more of delay.
“The department does not sell pri
vate mall boxes. They can he pro
cured at hardware stores, or one can
easily be made of wood or other ma
terial. It Is accepted that, If you are
In the new' carrier extension, you de
sire your mail at a private or main
office general delivery unless you put
up a private mail box at your resi
dence or business place."
The new service will require the
addition of two more carriers.
What personal qualifications are
demanded most In a good saleeper
eon?
First—A pleasing personality.
Second—A neat and business-like
appearance.
Third—The ability to talk intelli
gently and convincingly.
Fourth —A thorough knowledge of
one's line of merchandise.
"Fisth —The power to read readily
the customer’s wants.
Sixth —A good memory.
TRYING TO PLEASE.
"Working hard 7"
“I should say so." replied the stu
dent. “My football was so poor that
111 have to see if I can do something
to please father with my Latin. The
only thing is that I can never get
him to take the inaerest In books that
he does in football.”
