Hotel Deep Rock and Custom House-Post Office, 1906


  The Oswego Post Office is one of the most important in this section of the state, and its service is prompt and efficient to an exceptional degree.  Postmaster John B. Alexander has made a close study of the business needs of the city and has inaugurated innovations that are of advantage to the patrons.  The receipts have grown from $30,000 in 1900 to over $40,000 in 1906, placing the Oswego office in the list with larger offices of the country rated by the Post Office Department as first-class. Few people are aware of the magnitude of the business done by the Post Office Department in this city.  Nearly 10,000 money orders are issued each year and about the same number of registered letters received.  The vast amount of mail matter of all classes received is handled by thirteen carriers and seven clerks.  The excellent showing made during the last year is due to Postmaster Alexander and his efficient force of employes.
