Perhaps someone else picked up on this, but in case they didn't, DID THEY HAVE ZIP CODES IN 1972? The letters all have a zip code at the top. I don't remember zip codes that far back.

Yup. ZIP codes were introduced in 1963, made mandatory for bulk mail in 1967, I believe. They were in wide use in 1971.
