It does require awareness that packages were once
bundled up with string rather than tape.

For years after this became a non-issue, the local post office had a
fierce-tempered clerk named Wally who kept a ball of string behind the
counter. If you gave him a taped package, he handed it back with the
string, and until you'd tied it to his satisfaction, he wouldn't
accept it for mailing.
