Gypsy Postoffice in Fort Smith Arkansas Drugstore Pillars Gypsy Network
A Fort Smith Arkansas drugstore near a viaduct acts as an unofficial Gypsy post office handling thousands of dollars in support for wandering tribes and routing 10 000 telegrams and letters annually. Mrs Cole, not a Gypsy, administers the operation with her husband Cole who traveled with Gypsies for 30 years and now helps locate tribes. The Coles know virtually every tribe’s location and are trusted friends of the Gypsies who repay their kindness. They describe Gypsies as generous, impulsive, and cheerful, with about 100 Gypsies worldwide and around 5 000 in the United States.
