Date
While there is a 1968 date stamp on the back, the photo dates from 1962. This is when the episode aired and one can also see zone numbers and not Zip Codes for the addresses in New York and Los Angeles, which would be more proof of it being from 1962.
Pat MacDermott Company, Directional Public Relations, for Chevrolet, the sponsor of the program. During the 1950s and 1960s, publicity information was often distributed through ad or public relations agencies by the network, studio, or progam's sponsor. In this case, the PR agency was making this available for Chevrolet--the little "plug" about their vehicles is seen in the release.
