Biography: 

"R[ural] F[ree] D[elivery]" brought mail directly to Americans who lived in the countryside, away from post offices. Because farm families relied on the service to make so many of their purchases by mail, the story's narrator imaginatively calls the "R.F.D. carrier" - each man who delivered the packages - "by proxy tailor and seamstress to rural America" (87).
