The Nebraska State Journal Fri Jul 9, 1886
Chadron Journal: The Chadron post office is an
example of the prodigious growth of western
business. We have heretofore presented in these
columns tables showing the wonderful increase 
of business done in our post office, and unless
our readers may think that was a special boom
it needs to be said that the work and business
done is steadily on the increase. The present
quarter is the greatest in the history of the
office, and the Postmaster Wilson will have to
turn into the department for this quarter, 
after taking out his salary, over $1,200. The
Chadron office is the most wonderful fourth
class office in America. A certified statement
of the weight of mails handled here, made by
James E. White, superintendent sixth division,
Chicago, weights being on government scales,
shows the following weights for the month of
April; Sent out from Chadron p.o. 19,499 pounds.
Received at Chadron p.o. 15,568 pounds.
