For a small database like this, you might already have what you need.
If you have Hypercard 2.0 (or 2.1), take a look at the address stack.
It comes with the ability to read in text files (so you can do your
original import), add, delete, search, edit, and mark addresses
(cards) that meet certain criteria.  It also includes predesigned
"report" forms for several sizes of Avery mailing labels.  I have used
this stack with no problems to print ~130 labels.  Note that this
stack is not the same as the one shipped with Hypercard 1.2.x.  I
wouln't recommend going out and purchasing the latest Hypercard just
to get this stack, since it's more expensive than a lot of dedicated
solutions, but if you already have it you're set.
