Description: 16.00 Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE StLouBrown’s Bygone Days “Let Bygones Be back” Historic vintage National ZIP Code Directory, Illinois Section. Cover features Mr. ZIP, a.k.a “Zippy,” the mascot of the United State Postal Service to promot the use of the ZIP Code, which it introduced in 1963. According to the USPS: Mr. ZIP was based on an original design by Howard Wilcox, son of a letter carrier and a member of the Cunningham and Walsh advertising agency, for use by a New York bank in a bank-by-mail campaign. Wilcox's design was a child-like sketch of a postman delivering a letter. The figure was used only a few times, then filed away. Later, AT&T acquired the design and made it available to the Post Office Department at no cost. ... Miami-based Post Office Department artist Joe Lawrence retained the face but sharpened the limbs and torso and added a mail bag. The new figure, who Lawrence had dubbed Mr. ZIP, was unveiled at a convention of postmasters in October 1962. Well-thumbed, heavily dog-eared directory was published in January 1966, just three years into use of the new postal code. 47 pages. Book measures 8 ¼” x 10 ¾”.
