Q&A With Christmas Caroloke Creator

The Jasper Newsboy:

Pete Shivers just got tired of scraping up the side of his truck getting the mail.

He lives where there is a row of mailboxes, so when he came in after dark and tried to pull up close enough, he would scratch his truck on other boxes. The idea of having to reach all the way back into a dark mailbox was another factor, according to Shivers.

So, he invented a mailbox drawer that slides out, and found a manufacturer in Hot Springs, AR, who would build it out of heat resistant polypropelene plastic.

So far, the mail carriers Shivers has polled all like the pull-out drawer and say it makes their job easier.

To date he has sold 250 of his invention to places are far away as Canada and South Carolina.
