Located in Wichita Kansas, Postal Presort Inc issued a booklet of stamps for individuals to use in the mail service. Shown below is the front and back of a typical booklet.

Of note is the lower line of the black outline around the flying bird image. Shown at 400% and 300 dpi, there is microprinting of ppippippi with a letter s near the center of the microprinting. (Whoever said microprinting is a USPS security innovation :)

I have no information as to the cost to the user of the Postal Presort service nor do I know if the service was simply a private delivery service, a mail consolidator or some other combination of services. I would appreciate any information you might be able to share.
