It was not even heard of or dreamed of. Give the (lad news to the world." To what do you attribute thli great Increase T" he was asked. . "ririt, to an efficient postmaster," de clared the postmaster, with a Joyous smile. "Neit to courteous treatment of patrons and prompt dispatch of malls. Now let the world know of the excel lence of the Omaha postofflce." T0 you attribute the Increase In busi ness to the excellence of your product, like other successful advertisers?" he was asked. "The stamps sold here aren't and better than those sold In other post offices, are thavT" . "Well," said Jawn C, "I rather think crar stamps have a little better color and the mucilage on them, I think. Is better than that found on stamps sold by our competitors. I know I can fully recom mend our stamps to live perfect satis faction. Once tried, you will take no others. The kind you have always bought. Aeoapt no Imitations." But. taken seriously, the postofflce re ceipts are usually a splendid Index of the business of the community and an Increase la taken to show greater bust- activity.
