FOR PARTY OR GIFT: If it's a thank-you gift you're seeking, or a Christmas present for someone who "has everything" these boxes of imported foods are made to order. The foods contained in the boxes are also nice to have on hand for a party, for who can resist scotch smoked kippered herring or English toffee or plum pudding?

CONSUMERS CAN BUY SUGAR AGAIN: Mrs. R. E. Chambers, 1114 Woodlawn Ave (right), was one of the first Ann Arbor consumers to buy sugar this morning when sale of that commodity under rationing regulations began and retail sugar stocks, which had been frozen for a week, were again made available to the public. Ashley Clague (left) is shown tearing out stamp No. 1 from te war ration books of four members of Mrs. Chambers' household, a process that will be duplicated in every retail sugar sale for some time to come.

(The following caption refers to this photo, as well as an additional old photo that accompanied it in the October 31, 1952 edition of the Ann Arbor News.) For several decades, until the present post office was first built in 1908-09, the grand, old Beal Block on the northeast corner of Ann St. and N. Main St. was rented by the government for that purpose (shown in the picture at top). From 1909 until it was torn down about 15 years ago to become the site of a store, it housed a wide variety of businesses. At the extreme left in the picture below can be seen a corner of the present post office building which has undergone frequent remodelings -- three of them since 1922. In the old days the Beal Block was much more than a post office. It was the most popular, informal social center of Ann Arbor. Daily, and more particularly on Sundays, hundreds of townspeople, faculty and students gathered to pick up their mail and pass the time of day with their friends.
