Title:
Description: Alameda, California, Rhodes, Jamieson & Co. 1910. Leaflet, n. d. (ca 1910); 8 1/2 x 5 3/4; single sheet, printed in red and black and illustrated with a lithograph; identical text and image to both recto and verso; a few minor nicks to edges; light sun-fading to margins; in very good condition. A handsome advertisement for the Rhodes, Jamieson and Company, the leaflet showed an image of the business' warehouse and yard on the corner of Park Street and Blanding Avenue and listed their various wares. Initially a modest endeavour, it was founded in 1904 by A. G. Rhodes and G. G. Jamieson to handle fuel and building materials. Their fortune would change with the massive rebuilding effort after the San Francisco Earthquake, which would lead to a sizeable expansion and the purchase and absorbtion of various other businesses in the area. Very good .
