Description: Here's a real treasure: a very large map of the Los Angeles area which
shows not only the streets of Los Angeles and the surrounding suburbs,
but trolley lines for the Los Angeles Railway, the Pacific Electric Railway,
and the Glendale & Montrose Railway as well. It also includes a special
section showing the San Fernando Valley.
It was published in July of 1919 by the Times-Mirror Printing and Binding
house of Los Angeles for the Pacific Electric Railway company whose logo
on the back includes the words Comfort, Speed, Safety and Elegance.
According to the front cover, it shows "Car lines in official colors of oper-
ating companies, with complete route of each line" and even includes
instructions: "For convenience in use of Map -- fold up one-third, down
one-third, right one-half, hold by cover."
Folded up, it measures about 5" wide by 8" high and seems almost like a
booklet. It unfolds to a very large 32" wide by 48" high.
Inside the front cover, there's a 16-page Street Index attached to the cover
with staples. The map is apparently glued to one edge inside the back
cover.
While the Street Index is printed on regular paper, the map is printed on
what appears to be waxed paper. The printing is very sharp and every-
thing is extremely legible.
Also interesting are the concentric circles radiating from downtown at
one mile intervals from the Main Street Pacific Electric station.
