STAMP-VENDING MACHINES
TO THE EDITOR OR THE PRESS, Sir,—This town would be the better of a few stamp-vending machines. Granted they might < occasionally get out of order—they do in every town. So does every other public convenience and many of our private ones. We repair them and go on. A machine at Bealey avenue, say, and one about a mile into every suburb —in fact, at quarter of a mile intervals —wouldn’t be 100 frequent. For myself I should l ather have the misfortune of a stamp cut in half by the machine once in a few months than the everlasting tramp. —Yours, etc., A MILE OFF. March 11. 1936. [“Stamp-vending machines are installed at post offices, so that they can be feiven necessary supervision,” said Mr F. W. Furby, chief postmaster, when asked to comment on this letter. “Tho cost of servicing, etc., would not warrant the piecing of machines at intervals of a quarter of a mile. By purchasing a small booklet of stamps, frequent visits to the post office can be avoided."!
