CONTRACT POST OFFICES

In this season of heavy mailing, you are probably dreading a trip to the post office, where the lines are sure to be longer than those for fresh vegetables in Moscow. An alternative might be to try one of the more than 50 small, contract postal stations scattered throughout the county. (Unless noted, these stations are closed on Sundays.)
