Out with the old

Ray Ashford of Schamel Salvage, rural Indianola, checks the straps holding a "CSDBS" mail sorting machine on a trailer, after he and co-worker Tim McMains removed the sorting table and machine from the U.S. Post Office in McCook Thursday morning. Kelly Lacey, Officer in Charge of the McCook postal facility, said that "C" machines have become outdated, and the mail that they sorted for McCook and the 690 area has been processed using "D" machines at the Western Nebraska Mail Processing Center in North Platte since October. Lacey said the newer, faster technology of the "D" machines at the North Platte center improves efficiency and cost-effectiveness. "The Postal Service's goal is to deliver the mail in the most efficient and cost-effective manner possible," Lacey said. "It is our ultimate goal to keep our customers happy and well-served."
