Show OGDEN IS A SUB-AGENCY. i , The making of Ogden a sub-agency in the postoffice department is one of the most important acquisitions since the forest service established headquarters for the "Fourth District" in this city. It means that gradually all departments of the federal government govern-ment are recognizing the advantages of Ogdcn as a railroad center and distributing point. Stamped envelopes, newspaper wrappers and other supplies, to be requisitioned by the postmasters of a big part of the intermoun-tain intermoun-tain country, ore being received by the carload, and placed in the large, roomy, basement of the local federal building. The basement has been prepared for this purpose and a great quantity of postoffice supplies can be stored. Evcnhially the sub-agency will lead to the employment of many clerks in the receiving and distributing of the valuable postoffice material. Already postmasters from as far north as the Panhandle of Idaho arc sending in orders for stamped envelopes. Thi3 certainly places Ogdcn in large black letters in the postal guides and on the maps of the postoffice department. Postmaster Shurtliff has reason to feel proud of his increased responsibilities as his station in the postoffice employ now ranks with the most important in the country. j |
