Abstract
A plastic mailbox of modular construction includes a postal compartment and a newspaper compartment. The postal compartment includes a floor component which serves as a roof for a newspaper compartment positioned beneath the postal compartment. The postal compartment floor serves as an interconnecting member between the postal compartment and the newspaper compartment and is hidden from view by having its laterally opposite sides disposed in registering recesses formed in the side walls of the postal and newspaper compartments. A partial rear wall in the newspaper compartment serves as a stop for newspapers inserted into the open ended newspaper compartment.
