Hymie:

I print mailing lists as follows, 2 \hboxes side-by-side.
\labheight and \labwidth are the dimensions of each card.

\noindent
\hbox to \labwidth{
  \vtop to \labheight{
    \halign{#\hfil\cr
      Jane Doe\cr
      100 Rocky Rd.\cr
      Ice Cream, AR 72777\cr
    }\vss
  }\hss
}\hfil
\hbox to \labwidth{%
  \vtop to\labheight{%
    \halign{#\hfil\cr
      John Edo\cr
      100 Butter Pecan St.\cr
      Ice Cream, AR 72777\cr
    }\vss
  }\hss
}\par

Of course I use some simple macro definitions to shorten this.
I also read the addresses from a file in which each record
Already has the format:
{Jane Doe\cr
100 Rocky Rd.\cr
Ice Cream, AR 72777\cr
}

Good luck,
