Sublimity Mail Carrier Completes
25th Year On Rural Route; Started
Work With Horses and Small Cart
SUBLIMITY Carrying; mail for 25 years is the record
set by James Ripp, Sublimity rural mail carrier, this week.
He started carrying mail January 16, 1915.
His first trip was with a team of horses and two-wheeled
cart. Roads were in such bad condition that a heavier buggy
would not go through the deep mud. He covered a distance of
26 miles, making 84 stops withO
mail. It took him all day to -- t a in
make the route. K. DeArillOnU DUVS
He also states that In those J
days only five daily papers were
delivered on his entire route. To
day he handles from 1000 pieces
of mail daily up to 4000 during
the Christmas holidays. Today
with the much improved high
ways and side roads and the help
of the automobile, he makes a dis
tance of 41 miles daily in
hours with deliveries to 125 boxes
or approximately seven hundred
and fifty patrons.
Sublimity was the third oldest
postoffice in the state. The first
rural route was established in
1904 with B. Prange as the first
carrier. James Ripp, the pres
ent carrier, is number four on the
list.
