Things Out of the Past You Would Like to See Revived
#25
Telephone numbers that had names at the beginning of them; e.g., "MElrose 5-5300," the number of Saks Quality Furniture in New York City (whose radio jingle was ubiquitous in that area from the 1930s until the 1960s), and postal codes - the precursors of zip codes; i.e., "Staten Island 7, New York" (now "Staten Island, NY 10307").
"These, and many other matters which might be noticed, add a volume of unofficial declarations to the mass of organic utterances that this is a Christian nation" - Justice David Brewer, Church of the Holy Trinity v. United States, 1892
