Like telephone companies, banks, credit card distributors and the Social Security program, Valley post offices have assigned a number to each patron. The postal ZIP code numbers--zone classifications designed to speed mail distribution--have been issued for more than a month and are meeting with varying degrees of acceptance among Valley residents."
