Hermiston’s economic growth is
reflected in the sure, steady growth
of its postal receipts.
In 1920 the local post office did.
according to Chaa. Skinner, a busi­
ness of »6,018,28. Up to Sept. 1
of this year the business was »4244.-
28, leaving »1774 to go to equal the
1820 record.
It will be seen that the first eight
mounths of this year was consider
ably better than two thirds of last
year’s business. When it Is re
membered that the last four months
of the year are by far the best in
the postal year on account of the
holliday business it will be seen that
the office is well on its way to ex­
ceed its 1920 figures by.a nice mar­
gin. And this is in the face of much
less favorable general conditions
than last year saw.
