AMERICAN IDEA.—Postmaster Michael F. O’Donnell, killed two alib is with one idea at Cleveland, Ohio, when he installed a new kerb service mail box for motorists who think it too much bother to get out of their cars to mail a letter. Now the man who forgets to mail letters because no mailbox is convenient, and the man whose pocket soils and crinkles his wife’s outgoing correspondence for the same reason will have to explain how they missed O’Donnell’s kerbstone service—a receptacle anchored within arm’s length of any motorist, as demonstrated above. If this one proves popular, others will be erected at convenient locations.
