Obviously this is not a stamp, but still an interesting piece typical of today's mail. Has anyone seen this type of corner imprint for a piece of junk mail?



Never heard of US Postage Paid "ON DEMAND". What does that mean? Does the USPS have to keep tract and bill the company? Seems a bit odd to me, especially for a company like General Motors.

I'd be interested to know if anyone has any information on this.

Guess:
I think it is prepaid postage which accrues on account
as the mail is processed and at a certain value, the PO requests payment
which is guaranteed.

I suspect it is the name of this mail services company (in Michigan).

On-Demand Mail Services (ODMS) offers postal optimization solutions to companies in Michigan. We do this as part of the United States Postal Service's Work Share Program, a program that provides mailers and presort bureaus with significant discounts for preparing mail according to strict USPS specifications.

Thanks for the link. Never knew there was an "On Demand" Mail Service. It certainly explains the corner imprint, though.
