Express Company  



1919 Jan - 15 - Express Office Will Remove - A new location and another agent is being sought for the express company.

Under government management the buisness of the express company and the railroads is being disassociated.

In the case of Culver the railroad agent must work more than eight hours if he handles the express business. This he is not obliged to do.

Where the office will be located or who will be the agent awaits the visit of the district superintendent. It is not probable however, that the office will be brought up town as the bulk of the business is with the the academy. For instance, on Saturday monring there were 4 deleveries for uptown and about 40 for the academy.






1919 - Jan 22 - The Express Office - A building 20X20 is being put up opposite the depot on a lot leassed from T. E. Slattery for the accomodation of the express office.

It will contain two rooms, each 10X20, one for an office and the other for storage.

Al L. Warner has been appointed agent and will take charge Feb.1 or sooner if the building is r eady.

The 1924 Sanborn map gives an accurate detail of the are and shows the only probably building by the above description being building or lot #29; or rather the 3rd building west of Liberty Street.
