Title: Buildings - Post Office - Hancock
Photographer: Gagnon of Gazette
Subject Headings: Buildings - Public Buildings, Persons, Transportation - Automotive
Condition: Good
Description: The Hancock Promotion Committee has done some efficient decorating work in the city within the past week with the result that the town's post office rates as one of the few such edifices decorated in the nation. Ordinarily, post offices are not adorned during the Yule period because if the country were to decorate each building it owns a tremendously high expenditure figure would be reached. This photo was snapped Monday with no alterations of the scene being effected on account of the picture. Even the dent in the car is preserved.
