Description: Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE StLouBrown’sBygone Days“Let Bygones Be back”Return to Post-War Chicago, when N-S and E-W surface streets still offered the only crosstown travel option, before the city was rent by flyover expressways with this 1954 booklet, "The Latest CHICAGO Street Guide and Other Useful Information." They were free, the cover says, "Take One," but no publisher is listed. The cover also says Copyright 1944, but calendars for the second half of 1954 and all of 1955 take up the back cover.It appears this was in a day when men actually consulted maps and directional guides, because the "Other Useful Information" turns out to be found in a sort of early day men's Cosmo, with short articles and advertisements for mostly male ailments (and some serious ones--syphilis is prominently mentioned, along with piles; rectal diseases and prostate, kidney and bladder problems. But health advice for women is available too--one page is devoted to "Diseases of Women," with a prominent subhead, "Sex Hormone Treatment."Booklet measures 5 3/8" x 2 3/4".Combined shipping available on multiple purchases upon request. That means that if an order contains at least one item with a shipping charge, although other items in the order are listed with free shipping, there will be a charge--the lowest possible given the combined items.On listings where multiple copies of the same item are listed, labels associated with a color such as "Item Name-Yellow” or “Item Name-Purple" refer only to the color of the background used for identification purposes.Any conditions assigned to items listed for sale are based on a conservative, albeit amateur, opinion, so please examine available images closely and come to your own conclusion.Take care to note whether this auction is one in which multiple copies of the same or similar items are being sold individually, and that the price listed is for one of the items rather than all the items which might appear in a group photo.All items have been stored in a smoke-free environment.I want the buyer to be satisfied. Feel free to ask any questions you have. Your satisfaction 100% guaranteed, or simply return your purchase within 30 days for a full refund!Thank you for your patronage.
