Joe is so proud of this.

Last year, an envelope came in the mail that lacked postage and had been run through the postal system in Columbus. The letter was from Harold Ott and was addressed simply to “Plain City Drug, Joe Craft.” (You can see the actual envelope beside this column).

Plain City Drug. Joe Craft. That’s it. Nothing else. No address. No zip code. 

And yet, the letter still found it’s way to the drugstore and into Joe’s hands. Joe thought that was cool. He and the drugstore were so famous, the post office knew where to send mail even with limited information.

Sort of like sending a letter to Santa Claus at The North Pole.
