Postal receipts at the local office for the months of Jan., Feb., March and April this year totalled $10,573.53 compared with $8176.40 for the first four months of 1920. This is an increase of $2397.12. The first quarter this year was $8023.91 compared with $5940.40 for the first three months last year.
