The Goderich Post Office has
recently,. taken steps towards
encouraging greater use of the
postal code, They ,are gathering
up the mailing lists from
various busineases in town and
coding them for no charge., A
post office employee is.going to
the firm's office and requesting
the lists; taking them back to
the office, coding them properly
and returning them at no cbst
to the business.
The project is designed to
make it easier for large volume •
