I think either would be correct, and you might base your decision based on
the size of the label and the space available. My preference, though, would be for using a courtesy title for Ms. Jones as well. -- Suzanne S.

The US post office prefers no courtesy titles.
"Replace or remove certain words as listed below. However, the use of standard business word abbreviations is preferred over removal of words. The following compression technique should be applied only if the standard abbreviations do not meet particular business needs. Replace and with space. Replace space & space with space. Replace number words with numeric symbols: first with 1ST. Remove etc., i.e., in care of, and et al. Remove words like the, of, by, for, at, also. Remove ATTENTION, ATTN:. Remove gender words like MS, MRS, MISS, MR, SIR. Remove title words like DR, PHD, DDS, RN." -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...

Gack! Fine if you're shooting for a bulk mail discount. The opposite end of
the spectrum is addressing wedding invitations. Personal business mail falls somewhere in between. -- Suzanne S.
