POST OFFICE
PHOTO NEEDED
Lago had their own Post Office where employees each had a mail box and they could purchase stamps and mail letters as well as packages. The postage stamps used were Dutch. Mail was put in boxes two times a day so most employees checked the mail either at noon or on the way home after work.
THE MAGAZINE STAND
PHOTO NEEDED
At one time there was a magazine stand next to the post office that was owned and operated by an employees wife. Here you could purchase magazines from the store or have a subscripting and the magazine was delivered to the employee's home. This was a private business run by an employee's wife, Mrs. Wade, and was not a Company operation. Later the employee rented space from the Company in both the Old Esso Club and the New Esso Club and the Magazine Stand at the Post Office was removed.
