was supporting Allied's 29 retail divisions. Each month over 4
million statements and duns were mailed from ADU's Central Facility
just outside Boston, MA. A/R balances over the next 10 years
exceeded 1 billion dollars. Allied's data bases held over 15
million accounts, annual sales averaged 4.4 billion dollars.

Collections, Data Base Marketing, Bureau Link, Check
