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:
“They are very proper forest houses, the stems of the trees collected together and piled up around a man to keep out wind and rain,—made of living green logs, hanging with moss and lichen, and with the curls and fringes of the yellow birch bark, and dripping with resin, fresh and moist, and redolent of swampy odors, with that sort of vigor and perennialness even about them that toadstools suggest.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
