Book jacket for telephone directory: Retail Store Guide - Hoboken, N.J. Issued fall 1964 for use in 1965.
Gold vinyl plastic with black printing, 11" x 19" overall width. Interior yellow, blank.
A typical item used in domestic life for the then annually issued printed telephone directories of New Jersey Bell. Telephone directories were very well made publications, but this genre of cover was quite commonly distributed by local businesses (not N.J. Bell) as a protector for the directory.
While it was listed for Hoboken use, only 2 of the advertising companies were in that city. Back cover has a calendar with last four months of 1964, full year for 1965 and first eight months of 1966.
