Nestle donates funds

to improve Lauman Road
Evart Nestle has donated
$10,000 to the city of Evart. The
money is to be used for road improvements to Lauman Road.
The companys water load station is adjacent to the road inside
the city limits.
Company spokeswoman Arlene
Anderson-Vincent said the company learned the county doesnt
maintain the road.
The road is used frequently
by our local water hauler contractors, Double Diamond, and
other industrial businesses that
are located along that route. Ice

to serve the community and is

self-inking address stamp.

While they often are
rectangular in shape, this
particular one produces a
lovely rubber stamped
stylized circular address
for the zippy completion
of envelopes requiring a
return address in that upper left hand corner or on
the rear flap.
As one presses down on
the black cap, internally
the mechanism rotates
the plate with the raised
letters of the address.
At the at rest position, that plate is snugly
against the ink pad hidden in that upper black
section. As it rotates into
position sliding down

toward the piece of paper

(or envelope), it perfectly
aligns and arrives fully
inked. And since it is a
simple action, you can
center the stamp onto the
envelope, depress, and
then center onto the next
envelope, creating your
own little production line
of efficiency.
Speaking of alignment,
the United States Postal
Service, in its Publication
No. 28, wants you to know
that a properly addressed
envelope does not have
the addressees address
centered. Uncle Sam
prefers a left justification
of all individual lines of
text.
It is only the whole
address which as a
paragraph, is somewhat
centered to the envelope
itself.
When it is time to send
that letter, first class
stamps cost most of us
47-cents, but the business
rate for that same piece of
mail is discounted to just
over 37 -cents.
And perhaps you did not
realize that if that envelope (or package) is headed overseas to a member
of the military, as long
as the recipient is on a
bonafied base, the postage
expense wont be a penny
over the cost of sending
it as though it were being
mailed to someone right
here in the United States.
It appears as if we
stumped everyone last
week.
