    Looks like a Western Union Telegram form at lower right. A binder at lower right says, "Chase Manhattan." It might be accounts payable or accounts receivable?

    There were no laser printers or PCs in 1974. Microprocessors were not yet common. No bar codes were used in the mails. There was no internet.

    A Pitney Bowes postal meter machine printed postage. She's writing the weight on the envelope with a pencil. The next step is to carry it to the Pitney Bowes machine and print a "metered" postage label.

    Addresses either were on printed labels by data processig people or handwritten.

    In fact, the U.S. Postal Service still used horse drawn wagons to move mail between towns. No, I'm kidding about the wagons.
