Christmas has a new pestoffice® ;

and a new automatic stamp cancelling machine. Uncle Sam came +e the aid of Santa and sent Mrs. Tucker the cancelling machine. The postoffice was built during the summer by Mrs. Tucker’s hus- - pand. It replaced a frame structure which had never known a coat of paint. Now Mrs. Tucker, Santa’s first lieutenant, is ready for a deluge of - some 500,000 pieces of mail due between now and Dec. 25. “Christmas, Fla,” will ‘be postmarked on every piece of mail and in addition there will be a Christ- " mas tree cachet stamped on each

“We are prepared for a landslide business,” Mrs. Tucker said. “In past years we stamped everything by hard and it was a day and night | ¥§ job for myself and family and we | even had to call on the neighbors | for help now and then.” Mrs. Tucker said mail to New Zealand, Holland, England, Scotland, Germany, Italy, and Hawaii already had cleared the postoffice and that domestic mail for every state now is pouring in.
