To Receive Mail

I was thinking about the history of mail the other day. The first incoming Mailboxes were developed in the 1700's in Russia and is was called the Tzar box. This was a letter box that would give letters to the Tzar. It would also function as a suggestion box of such. The Tzar was the ruler of Russia prior to the 1917 Revolution.

Oddly enough mass Mailboxes showed up first in 1948 in Russia. These boxes were light and were stolen. Later the box was made much heavier. Today, we see them all over.
