POST OFFICE IS MOVED INTO NEW LOCATION
Patrons of the local post office were somewhat surprised the latter part of last week when notices were posted to the effect that the removal to the new location in the First National Bank building would take place Saturday evening.
In the late afternoon of Saturday, crews commenced to tear down the fixtures in the Faust building and draymen were soon hauling them to the new home. Late Saturday night the main fixtures were in place and the moving had gone on without any slackening of service.
Although the placing of minor equipment was not done until early this week, the new location is now arranged according to specifications.
One improvement over the old location is the fact that all windows are in the front part of the post office proper and anyone wishing to buy stamps or call for mail can be easily seen by any or all of the employees. It is apparent that the new site ins more conveniently located for the majority of the patrons of this city.
In regards to the front part of the building, carpenters are now engaged in screening off that section which is to be used as a store room or office.

New Post Office Building Put in Service This Week
Lusk's new postoffice building, erected by Paul Godfrey, was given formal approval Monday by Postal Inspector Houston from Denver and will be opened for service either late Thursday or Friday.
D.L. Skoog, Seattle, traveling mechanician for the for the Postal Department, arrived here Tuesday to direct the moving of equipment from the present location to the new building on Third Street just west of the Ranger Hotel.
Moving operations were being started Wednesday and will continue through Thursday. Service will be maintained from the present location during most of the moving procedure, but patrons will have to keep themselves informed.
Postmaster A.B. Mills states that 95 additional boxes will be installed in the new building, and it is hoped that more will be added later.
Service windows in the new building will face the front door with an "L" of boxes running along a corridor to the west side.
The new building is attractively decorated, well lighted and is expected to greatly facilitate the handling of mail as well as meet the growing needs of the community. Oscar Bostrum was the contractor.
