Abstract
A plastic mailbox has a postal compartment mounted on top of a newspaper compartment which in turn is mounted on the top of a two piece upright plastic support. The laterally opposite side wall structures and arched top structure of the postal compartment and the laterally opposite side wall structures and the bottom structure of the newspaper compartment have inner and outer walls for strength. The postal compartment is strengthened by a pair of longitudinally extending rows of upward bulges or pockets in the arched ceiling segment of the inner wall of its arched top structure. The postal compartment and newspaper compartment are further strengthened by a forward projecting lip encircling forward end of the mailbox. A partial wall at the rear of the newspaper compartment serves as a newspaper stop and as a reinforcing structure.
