They never wanted us to put addresses on the tags, they felt that if they did not want to make it easy for people who did not work for the system to know what drop went where. Budcos will fade but they last a few years, and if we did a reconnect or hooked up a new customer at a place with a existing drop we had to cut the old tag off, turn it in with the paperwork and put a new one on. But all that was back before snap and seals, and we were still using weather boots and grease.
