PLAN ADDITION TO POST OFFICE

Greenwood Building Will Be Made Larger To
Accommodate The Increased Business

The post office building in this city will be enlarged and remodeled if a bill recently favorably reported to the House of Representatives at Washington is passed at the present session of Congress.

The Greenwood post office is among the large number of offices throughout the United States to which enlargements are contemplated.

Increased business at the Greenwood post office has been found to require larger and more commodious quarters necessary for the accommodation of the patrons of the office.

ADDITION TO POSTOFFICE HERE WILL
BE MADE AT EARLY DATE

A long needed addition to the post office building in Greenwood, affording more and better facilities for handling the mail in this city, will be made, culminating efforts inaugurated by Postmaster Fred Little and Assistant Postmaster W. E. Blanks, and in which the Chamber of Commerce of Greenwood has assisted.

Information that the addition will be made is contained in a telegram received from Congressman Whittington, stating: “Am assured extension will be made to Greenwood Post Office.”

Mr. Whittington has been working on the matter for sometime, and has been in consultation with the post office department over the congestion and needs of the local office.

The office has been inspected by architects with a view to ascertain the needs, and the recommendation for the addition has been made.

Business at the Greenwood post office has grown enormously since the present federal building was erected, and both interior working space and accommodations for the public are inadequate to the present volume of business.
