CAR-RT SORT is a United States Postal Service marking appearing above the sendee's address on traditional advertising mail such as store circulars, coupon books, and other bound printed matter (BPD). Advertisers receive a significant postage discount in return for delivering stacks of advertising mail to the postal service that are pre-counted to have the correct number of articles for each carrier's route. Thus the name CAR-RT SORT standing for Carrier Route Sort (or Presort).
Famous quotes containing the word sort:
“There are people who can write their memoirs with a reasonable amount of honesty, and there are people who simply cannot take themselves seriously enough. I think I might be the first to admit that the sort of reticence which prevents a man from exploiting his own personality is really an inverted sort of egotism.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
