Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 34, Number 24, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 22 November 1901 — A Mail Sent Out at 8:00 P. M. [ARTICLE]

A Mail Sent Out at 8:00 P. M.

A needed extension in the mail facilities of Rensselaer has just been received by Postmaster Meyer Heretofore the latest mail carried from the postoffice to the depot closed at 6p. m. A great many people, especially business men, often have letters they wish to mail after this time, and heretofore they have left them at hotels and restaurants, to be mailed at the trains, by hackmen. This inconvenient and uncertain method can now be dispensed with by all who get their letters ready previous to 8 o’clock p. m., as hereafter mails will be sent to the depot at that time. The postoffice will also remain open until that time, every evening.
