CASS stands for Coding Accuracy Support System and is the used by the post office to improve it's efficiency by ensuring that bulk mailers use correct/valid addresses and ZIP+4 codes. From there you find the delivery point number to create a Delivery point bar code. Using this allows you to save up to $0.07 per piece on first class mail or an additional $0.03 per piece of standard mail.
To answer your second question, I am in the great city of Lansing. Birthplace and former home of Oldsmobile, MSU and the State Capitol. For a very nice vacation, you should try a couple of our other lakes .. Superior is beautiful, but you'll freeze if you go in, so also is Huron. And you mean there are jokes about southerners? :-) tom ----- Original Message ----- From: "J.
