When I worked at The Daily Sun in 1999, one of my jobs was getting the out-of-town subscribers their paper ready for the Post Office.

The labels came from the circulation dept and were separated by regions all over the USA. I would prepare 25 per bag and sometimes have as many as 15 heavy bags. I would then drive to the Daily Sun admin office on Main St for the paperwork and proceed to the Post Office on CR25 for drop-off.

Sometimes we had as many as 400 papers going out. I don't know when the service stopped but at one time it was alive and kicking.

I guess The Villages just got too big!
