100 Years Ago
The April 21, 1921 Colorado Transcript announced that Golden post office employees were soon to be armed.
…with a view to protecting the mail against robbery. A supply of revolvers holsters, belts and ammunition has been sent to the office, and probably will be received this week. The mail messenger will also be armed. Government employees will not be required to secure state, county or municipal permits to carry firearms while on duty. The action of the post office department is taken in view of the frequent mail robberies, and is designed to protect the mails and safeguard lives of postal employees.
This was such an unexpected story that I tried researching why the need had arisen. Deep in the heart of the U. S. postal service website, I found a list of “On This Day in Postal History” events. It said
April 9, 1921: Postmaster General Will Hays issued Order No. 5668, which armed “all essential postal employees” to combat a rash of mail robberies. Fifty thousand guns and two million rounds of ammunition were issued to railway mail clerks and other employees who handled valuable mail.
Further research showed that there was a nationwide rash of robberies underway at the time. Postal employees on trains were sometimes armed, but most robberies took place in local post offices–which is why the Postmaster General thought the clerks should be armed.

88 Years Ago
Based on the April 20, 1933 Colorado Transcript, the mood in town was decidedly upbeat. The town was still celebrating the repeal of Prohibition and the reopening of Coors Brewery. Production was up to 500 barrels a day, and the pent-up demand was apparently endless. Adolph Coors Jr. told the Transcript that he considered legalized beer as a relief measure and felt he had a responsibility to reinvest all profits in creating jobs
One brief article told of Alphonse Thuet Senior, who had managed hospitality at the brewery from 1889 till Prohibition went into effect in 1916. He was now able to return to dispensing hospitality (and beer!).
The company was also inviting Jefferson County farmers to get barley seed at the brewery.
Stewart’s Grocery Store ad that week included a list of foods that would go well with Legalized BEER! (Suggestions included pretzels, liverwurst, olives, and cheese.)
Coors Porcelain made the paper too, as described in the article, “Women Enthusiastic Over Coors Porcelain Display at Linder’s.” It reported that women were delighted at Linder Hardware’s display of Coors Thermo Porcelain, which was attractive china that went from refrigerator to oven to table.
