Post Office Sales Jump in Past Year Over 1957 The Springville postoffice the past year had an increase in postal sales of $4,679.62 over the previous year, the annual report stated with 1958 sales, being $43,191.62 compared to $38,512 in 1957. The 1958 figure indicates r. steady increase over the past several years. The 1956 sales, totaled $35,972 or a $3,000 in-crease over the previous yea.'. There is a possibility that the 1958 total sales could place the local post office in the first class category, providing the record was maintained over a specified time. However the advantages of a low first class postoffice over a high second class, are very few, ,the post-master explained. There is no advantage in service unt.l a first class office reaches a rather high rate. However there is some difference in the salary schedule of the post-master and other personne, when the postoffice reaches the first class status. In spite of the high 1958 postal sales record, the Decem-ber sales were down over those of the previous December, a trend which was noticeable over the entire region. Postal officials reported that thiL could be the result of the in-crease in postage from the 3 cent rate to the 4 cent for Christmas cards or part of the decrease could stem from the fact that workmen at Geneva agreed to dispense with send-ing Christmas cards and pui the amount into a' recreational project at the American Fori-- . Training School: Ot any rate there were considerably fe-.v- Christmas cards sent during the past December than the year before bringing posta' sales down from December 1958.
