Mail Box


In the states the mail man used to come to the door and personally deliver the mail. In time they realized that they could save an hour and a half each day if they didn't have to wait for people to answer the door. They began an attempt to encourage people to put up mail boxes so that the mailman could just drop of the mail without having to wait for someone to answer the door. That is what you see in the picture above. These days in many areas they don't even deliver mail to houses anymore. They have a cluster of mail boxes down the street that where the mailman can drop off all the area mail in one spot and the people walk [usually drive] down there to pick up their mail.

At 49 cents each, i am going to get me a dozen of these. Unfortunately even doing a search of the part number and a search on the stock keeping unit would not reveal what i am buying.

Klan



Both photos would appear to be of the second
incarnation of the Klan, that was such a political
force in the 20s.
