This film, one in a seemingly endless series of films made by American Mutoscope & Biograph for the United States Post Office, stands out by virtue of the fact that it comes across as a little slice of Americana circa 1903. We have white picket fences in front of which a hen slowly struts as the film opens and a housewife in a long dress and white bonnet coming out to buy stamps from a bow-tied postman who has delivered a letter to her mailbox.
