    Steve–
    Zip codes weren't in use by the USPS until 1963. Love the telephone exchange name, "DAyton", though. Check the telephone EXchange name project website for further information. DAyton was apparently a telephone exchange used in the Bronx. http://ourwebhome.com/TENP/TENproject.html

    I found this, and thought it might be interesting, especially due to all the non-seatbelt wearing/carseat using/drinking while driving that goes on during the show. A car like this would be pretty typical in 1963, though it would be a few years old. Nice comparison to today. Sent by a friend who had a collision in the modern one several years ago while on the highway with her infant daughter. (Both were fine, but she said her Chevy looked just like this one.)

    Love Mad Men but the screen writers need to perfect their English. Educated people in the 60's would never have said "I've got to LAY down" as Roger said on the August 1st episode (and in other episodes by other characters.) The writers must all be young and definitely not English majors. (Have them check Strunk and White's "Elements of Style" if they are unsure). This is a real flaw that must grate on the nerves of many besides me. Of course, language changes with time, and this particular rule (use of the transitive verb "lay" versus the intransitive verb "lie") seems to have gone by the wayside today, but in the 60's even the lowliest secretary would have been kcked out of the office for such misuse of the King's English. What would their clients have thought??

    "even the lowliest secretary would have been kcked out of the office for such misuse of the King’s English."

    "lowliest secretary"? There are rules that pertain to grammar, then there are rules that pertain to decency. You seem to have strong opinions on the former; you might do well to learn some of the latter.
