The Superior Express -

This week The Express received a letter and beautiful thank you card from a loyal subscriber in Moline, Ill.

Reading the card brings tears to the editor’s eyes for the sender wrote, “Just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate you trying to get the paper to me. I know you folks have tried.

“I have enjoyed the new articles and the old ones, especially the 100, 75, 50 and 25 year ago entries.

“ I am not going to renew my subscription. Am sure you will understand. I will miss even the few issues that made it out here.”

And Tuesday morning we received a phone call from a subscriber in Creston, Iowa, reporteding the paper we mailed to her on July 29, was delivered to her home on Sept. 1.

A subscriber here in Nebraska reports they haven’t gotten a paper since March. We have checked and we are addressing a paper to them each week.

Without doubt the United States postal system is broke. It shouldn’t take more than two or three days for a paper to reach Creston, Iowa. But at least the paper reached the subscriber though more than a month late. Papers aren’t reaching the subscriber in Moline, Ill. or the one in Western Nebraska. Where are they going? Is it possible they are just being thrown away?
