They specialise in "mail I order?," and residents in the country j districts can rest assured that their

Formerly, as many can well remember. post : 'age' rates were hlt£h; delivery was slow and uncertain, and did not extend beyond the cities and the larger provincial tovtfnS'. Now, however, postage rates arc low, and half-a-dozen houses are located, there ia a postal authority and a daiiy service. This development in the postal system has made ' lit possible for country residents' to jH| : ve practically the same purchasing privileges! as their city friends.'
