Mr. Zip lives!!

When I was just a little preschooler, my mom and I would sometimes go with my dad to work - into the city of St. Louis. I loved to walk with him when he would take parcels to the Post Office because they had a life-size stand-up cut out of Mr. Zip in there. I loved Mr. Zip! He was everywhere in those days, determined to remind people to use the new zip codes.

 

I hadn't seen him in years, but here he is in the form of a decal (dated May '63) on the wall of the Loraine, Illinois post office.
