Business "In regard to the office furnished me by your company, I can only say that my opinion of it has never changed. I considered it at the time I purchased it a model of beauty and convenience, and the use of it for nearly two years has only strengthened that opinion. It has received the highest praise from every official of the Post Office Department who has examined it. The material of which it is constructed has been proven to be of good quality, by the fact that although the room is kept quite warm, the joiner work is nearly as perfect as the day it was set up' February 6, 1879. DOUGLASS SMITH, P. M., Wilkesbarre, Pa. "The fixtures furnished by you THREE YEARS AGO for this office have given entire satisfaction in every way, the lock boxes and all, being in JUST AS GOOD WORKing order as ON THE DAY THEY WERE PUT UP." G. FARMER, P. M., Hoboken, N. J. January 8, 1879. "The work gives good satisfaction, is not affected by use, and holds its appearance well. Everything works to a T." A. F. GRAVES, P. M., Red Wing, Minn. (The above office was fitted up in September, 1874.) January 31, 1879. "TO-DAY I put the cabinet of Lock Boxes in my office. They are so well liked that I am compelled to get another set. You will please make me a cabinet of No. 3 Lock Boxes in time to have them put in on or before July 1 next." L. C. SMITH, P. M., Slatington, Pa. May 14, 1879. "The Post Office Outfit, consisting of 600 Call and 62 Lock Boxes, with complete Money-Order and General Delivery Equipment, furnished by your company for this office, has been placed in position. To say that I am well pleased with my purchase does not convey the full idea of my satisfaction. The contract made with your Company was fully met. In short, the equipment is not only beautiful, but in every way convenient, and adapted to the wants and cares of a postmaster. My Lock Boxes rented so rapidly at an increased rental, that I may have to order more.' June 2, 1879. C. V. R. POND, P. M., Quincy, Mich.
