Mechanization, which will be made possible by the Zip Code, promises increased speed, accuracy and economy to mail handling. a rate of uup to he said. 2000 per minute, Its real purpose is served by sorting mail sent thrnueh the postal system by big businesses. There are 25,000 iirms in the United States that send more than 50 per cent of the first class mail. Handling over 70 billion pieces of mail each year with an expected 2 billion increase annually will, by 1980,' require all the people in the United States to operate the postal system manually, Mr. Jensen predicted. These businesses will print the zip code numbers on their mail with a metallic ink, just as the banks do on their checks. That way at least half of thd mail will be sorted mechanically. Importance Emphasized That Is the reason it is so important for patrons to put their zip code number on the retin-- n address of an envelope especially uhenwriting to a business house.
