Abstract:
The rural free delivery (RFD) has been serving farmers since 1896. In the early days, RFD patrons individualized their mailboxes to help rural carriers recognize where to stop. The one-horse plow, old iron pump, and other relics are still seen across rural North Carolina today supporting mailboxes.
