Narrative

Oak Creek Times, August 17, 1917
Daily Delivery Starts on Local Rural Route
Daily delivery started on Oak Creek rural route No. 1 yesterday, F.E. Van Wert taking the mail out in his flivver, he will carry the mail temporarily for a few weeks until a regular mail carrier can be secured. As the job now pays $1,200 a year it is not believed that a great deal of difficulty will be found in getting a permanent carrier after haying is over.
