Point of View

The postal service is cutting back hours at some rural post offices. How often do you go to the post office?

“For my own personal use, I only go a couple times a year to mail gifts, usually around Christmas and family birthdays. At that time I usually buy a couple books of stamps that last for most of the year! For professional use, I go a couple times a month to check our PO Box.”

— Erin Evans
