" It's not too early to think
of adding ZIP Codes to your
Christmas mailing list," Post­master
Leo Morgan suggested,
this week. " Also, it would help
greatly if each address was
printed." Morgan encouraged
mailers to use the ZIP Codes on
all addresses because with it
mail moves by a more direct
route and is handled fewer times.
