The Heart of the Community:
For Americans in small towns and rural areas, the local post office is the central institution of the community. Even in cities, the branch and main post offices are places where nearly everyone goes at one time or another to buy stamps or mail a package.
Because of the universal role of the post office in people's lives, the federal government has long used post offices to reach citizens and communicate with them on a variety of subjects. |
