Vintage 1970s United States Zip Code Directory featuring Mr. Zip in acceptable condition with some wear to cover as shown. Includes a brown spot and a tear at upper right back.
This is an original, authentic vintage ZIP code directory distributed as a community and school fundraiser by the J.H. Schuler Co. during the mid-1970s. It stands as a fantastic historical snapshot of the era when America was fully transitioning its daily mailing habits into the modern automated age.

Front Cover: Features a bold, bright graphic of \"Mr. Zip,\" the legendary cartoon mascot created by the Post Office to encourage the public to adopt the 5-digit ZIP code system.
Back Cover: Displays the then-new authorized two-letter state abbreviations introduced to solve the physical line-space limitations of early automated addressing equipment. (Includes the mid-1970s additions of \"CZ\" for Canal Zone and \"GU\" for Guam).
