(1920s); 8 x 5; pp. 3-46, [2]; plain black wraps; printed in black and red and illustrated with several photographs, drawings, and elaborate borders; leaves' right margins die-cut to form thumb-tab index in alphabetical order; occasional spotting and glue residue to gutter; several small, manuscript notes penciled-in; in about very good condition.

Each left-hand page described noteworthy landmarks and points of interest in and around the city, while the right-hand pages advertised various businesses, including You Drive Auto Rental Co.
