RECORDS Of PAST
YEAR SMASHED BY
HOLIDAY BUSINESS
Before the middle of December
and just on the eve of the usual
Christmas rush, the Beaverton post
office has exceeded the $40,000 vol­
ume mark needed to retain first
class standing according to Don­
ald L. Jenkins, postmaster
By Decembei 12, in fact, the post
office was already ahead of last
year’s gross receipts of $41,500.
The increase in November ovei
last year was 25.40C-. Over the first
week in December of 1948. the
gain was 650L
Saturday, December 10. over 120
sacks and outside parcels left the
Beaverton office and stamp sales
amounted to over $800. Jenkins
feels that new equipment and ex­
tra window which the office re­
ceived for their new location this
year will make service quicker for
patrons and the work easier for
employees.
