      It will be sent “in plain wrapper”, in order to give the impression to observers that you have ordered MANLY porn.

They weren’t savvy enough to have their typesetter just print a piece of paper saying “EX-186 EX-187 EX-188 EX-199” that they could cut up and paste into each ad for the next ten years.

      (Things like “Department BR-549” these addresses was an early form of ad tracking — the letters and numbers represented what magazine and what issue the ad was in, so that they could figure out which magazines were generating the most responses. I assume this was run in issue 187 of some magazine with a name like EXtreme Juggs, EXploding Pantiez, or Educational Xylophones.)
