October 1 finds Medford stirring
with renewed activity, the fall busi
ness with its customary increase in
momentum havinc succeeded the
quiet summer months. Merchants
nnd business men generally report
business better this fnll than ever
before. In all lines business is
good nnd prosperity is in tho air.
No better criterion of. a city's
general welfare and growth cau bo
nnmed than its postal receipts. Sep
tember receipts were greater this
year than nny previous month in
the history of the local postoffice
not barring any month even last
December with its Christmns busi
ness. During September tho postal re
ceipts, in Medford totaled $2653.09,.
while for September only $1352.66.
The increase was $1301.03 or 96 per
cent nearly double. .
Tho receipts for the quarter end
ing September 30 totalled .$6954.62,
while for the corresponding quarter
n year nco the'.v were $4304.23. The
increase was $2650.39, or 61 per
cent.
The postnl receipts nro but am
indication of the increase in the bus
iness of the city. Never before woro
building nctiviles mnkner as grent n
showing, never before wero businoss
houses mnking as grent strides.
Medford is surely coming into hor
own.
