1. Rural Free Delivery

   Rural Free Delivery (RFD) was a program of the United States Post Office Department that began in the late 19th century to deliver mail directly to rural destinations. Previously, individuals living in remote homesteads had to pick up mail themselves at sometimes distant post offices or pay private carriers for delivery. RFD became a political football, with politicians promising it to voters, and benefitting themselves to reach voters. The proposal to offer free rural delivery was not universally embraced. Private carriers and local shopkeepers feared a loss of business. The United States Post Office Department began experiments with Rural Free Delivery as early as 1890. However, it was not until 1893 that Georgia Representative Thomas E. Watson pushed through legislation that mandated the practice. However, universal implementation was slow; RFD was not adopted generally across the country until 1902. The rural delivery service has used a network of rural routes traveled by carriers to deliver to and pick it up from roadside mailboxes.

1. rural free delivery

   Rural Free Delivery (RFD) is a system established by the United States Postal Service to deliver mail directly to rural farm families. Prior to RFD, individuals living in more remote homesteads had to pick up mail themselves at sometimes distant post offices or pay private carriers for delivery. Introduced in the late 19th century, RFD became an official nationwide service in the U.S. by the early 20th century, significantly improving the ease of communication for rural residents.

1. Rural Free Delivery

   Rural Free Delivery is an EP by the alternative country band Whiskeytown, released by Mood Food Records in 1997. Although the music on the EP was recorded in 1995 - just a few months after Whiskeytown formed - it wasn't released until two years later. The band had to sell the session master tapes to Mood Food in order to get out of their contract at the time. The EP contains a hidden track - an alternate, longer mix of "Nervous Breakdown". But unlike typical hidden tracks, this one is located at the beginning of the CD. To access it, go to the very beginning of the first song on the CD, then scan backwards for 3:15, and press play.
