Joyce – The first and third attachment are from the booklet produced on the occasion of the Dedication of the new PO on Saturday, November 21, 1959.  The second is from a postcard of Main St. in Canton (which may already be on your site).  I recently noticed that the second building from the left was the post office.  This is the first that I realized that the PO had been on Main Street.  This is probably in the 20 or 30’s.
