Inscriptions Printed in image on recto, LC: (PX-3) LANSDALE, PA., MAY 4 - THE POSTMAN RINGS MORE THAN TWICE -- \ When pretty Linda Lindblom, of Lansdale, Pa., was pictured a week \ ago walking past Mailman Stan Cressman, taking a second look at \ his shorts, mail and phone business alike got a big boost. Linda \ has been getting special delivery offers to pose for magazines \ and ad agencies. Here she poses on a park bench as Stan hands \ her another letter. The first photo, published nationwide, brought \ some side effects: Linda's boy friend didn't like "the idea of \ flashing your legs all over the country." And there's this one \ chap who calls Linda every morning at 7 o'clock. "I just say \ 'good-bye' and hang up. At least it gets me to work on time." \ (APWirephoto) (Photo by Willard Krieble) (wfa 6 0730 wk) 1973
