2006.022.017Description
Clipping from the Herman Wehrle Scrapbook describing the advent of home mail service in Short Hills from c. 1948. The article features George E. Dedecker as he made the rounds on Short Hill's first day of "city mail delivery service." According to the article, home delivery service was authorized by the Post Office in February 1944, but the service was delayed because people did not have house numbers, mail boxes or slots. The photo features Mrs. Carl Hagerstrom of 13 Ridge Terrace and her son Eric Hagerstrom.Acquisition
