Postoffice Is • . « i Greeted In Camden On Its First Run Thursday " '~'~ r ^History was knade in Camden Thursday when the first Highway Postoffice rolled into this city on its initial official run between Charlotte and Florence. The event ranks in importance with the beginning of Rural Free Delivery service 90 years ago. The highway postoffice is the same as a railway mail postoffice, only it operates by its own power over highways. It is staffed by railway mail clerks. The postoffice rolled into Cam den about ten minutes ahead of time and on hand to greet it we$e a number of local people, in cluding Mayor Henry Ravage, Jr., and Commissioner Sam Karesh. The crowd continued to grow and before the poaioffice left many had gathered to see it and to go through it Soml stamp col lectors got envelopes cached with the special cache usdp Thursday only* ^ Making the first highway postofflce posts! of Adams, _ Railway Mail _ Ga.; John S. superintendent, l Merritt, chief clerk.
