The Clason Map Company operated in Denver from the early 1900s until the Depression. It published numerous maps in different forms, including a "midget map" series. The distributor of this map, F. M. Luther & Sons, was a real estate brokerage headed by Francis [Frank] Luther, one of the founders of Cimarron, Kansas. I dated this map using a couple of named Kansas highways. The Carrie Nation Highway was established in 1917 and is shown on this map; but this map lacks a "Victory Highway" which was designated ca. 1921. A relatively rare map of Kansas.

A map brochure issued by the Security Trust and Savings Bank of Los Angeles, intended to promote the city, to advertise the bank, and to closely identify the growth of the city with the growth of the bank. Appearing on the recto is "The Map of the City of Los Angeles" extending from Griffith Park in the north to the beginning of the "Shoestring" strip in the south, and west from Huntington Avenue to the (former) intersection of Sunset Boulevard and Holloway Drive. Four capitalized letters indicate "The Four Security Corners," ie., where the four branches of the Security Trust and Savings Bank can be found. One is located "in the heart of the Downtown Section," another serves "the Ninth End of the Business District," another is available near the "West End of the Shopping District," and the fourth, the "Cahuenga Building," is the "largest Banking Institution in Hollywood." Numbers along the border mark the thoroughfares from Los Angeles to nearby towns and neighborhoods including Los Angeles' Harbor, San Francisco, San Diego, Culver City, and Redondo Beach. All of these are identified in a key below the map. There is an additional inset map on the right edge ("Insert A"), an enlarged view of the neighborhoods around Huntington Avenue. On the verso is a map of the "Complete City of Los Angeles" showing the entirety of Los Angeles including the Shoestring addition of 1909, as well as un-annexed towns and additions in the greater L.A. region. Also included is a map of"the Shoestring" and Los Angeles Harbor accompanied by a note on its history. Other notes cover such matters as "Growth of the City and the Growth of the Bank," the square mileage covered by the city, and its internal improvements, especially the construction of its aqueduct. The Security Trust and Savings Bank was a prominent financial institution in late nineteenth and early twentieth century Los Angeles and served as "one of the principal banks used by Hollywood for financing films (including those of Cecil B. DeMille), and for maintaining personal fortunes (Howard Hughes, Charlie Chaplin, and W. C. Fields are said to have had accounts at this bank)" ("Security Trust"). Their Cahuenga building in Hollywood was the tallest building in Hollywood in 1921, serving as a popular filming location of the silent film era. In fact, Raymond Chandler gave his iconic private eye, Philip Marlowe, an office there "on the sixth floor, two small rooms at the back. One I left open for a patient client to sit in, if I had a patient client" ("Cahuenga Building").

Condition: Fine. This interesting pocket map and tour guide to Chicago was published around 1923 by the Clason Map Company. It was distributed as a promotional item on behalf of the Chicago Motor Coach Company, which operated bus tours on three routes across the North, West, and South Sides of the Windy City. These are shown in brown, green, and orange, respectively, in the simple street plan of the city in the upper left. Nearly 80 points of interest - parks, beaches, hotels, and more - are numbered and identified in the adjacent list. Competing transit options like the elevated railway and streetcar lines are omitted from the image. The lower portion of the sheet is occupied by an overview of the Shopping District Service, including a Shopper's Map of the Loop that names many of the city's major merchants. The verso provides several small photographs and descriptive text of major attractions along each of the three tours. Discussion on the ongoing construction of Tribune Tower helps to date the map conclusively between 1923 and 1925.

Light wear along fold, including small pinholes at seam intersections. Near fine condition overall.

Condition: Very Good. This fabulously detailed road map of California shows the burgeoning transportation network across the state in the mid-1920s. Main roads predate the numbered highway system and are individually labeled, like the Roosevelt National Trail, El Camino Real, and Pike's Peak Ocean to Ocean Highway. The various paths were undoubtedly surfaced with a variety of materials like macadam, gravel, dirt, and tar - there's even a wooden 'planked road' across the desert of Imperial County. Inset maps of the San Francisco and Los Angeles areas can be seen in the upper right and lower left, respectively. Published around 1924 in Denver by the Clason Map Company. Includes the accompanying guidebook, which presents more detailed street plans of California urban centers and an extensive index of cities and towns.

Condition: Fine. "This detailed map of the Western Front of WWI shows the lines of Allied advance as they tried to expel the German army from France in September of 1918. Earlier hashed lines show the tremendous gains Germany had made earlier in the war with the (almost) successful implementation of the Schlieffen Plan - a huge "right hook" that cut through Belgium southwards to Paris. The line of furthest advance highlights just how close they came to besieging the city - barely 40 miles. The bottom of the sheet presents a number of inset maps showing the primary fortresses in Belgium and France, including the myriad of satellite forts surrounding each. In these maps, it's easy to visualize how such complex networks of immense fortifications contributed to the static nature of trench warfare that came to define the First World War." Sheet Width (in) 34 Sheet Height (in) 28 Condition Description As issued originally -folded into fifty panels and affixed to two tone pictorial paper covers. Moderate creasing along the fold lines, though no discoloration or breakage. The covers are worn and a bit soiled. Near fine condition overall.

The second inset, lower left, shows the suburban municipality of Englewood immediately south of Denver.

Condition: Very Good. "The detailed guidebook to Chicago was published locally around 1920 by the Clason Map Company. Its 96 pages include a wealth of contemporary information about the Second City and provides a comprehensive street index, information on accommodations, transportation details, and a number of single-page plans covering the various suburbs. Accompanying the guidebook is a large folding map of the city, with its outlines in red and the forest preserves, parks, boulevards, and cemeteries highlighted in green. The Loop, Cubs & White Sox Ballparks, and the Union Stockyards, evidently four of the city's most vital economic areas, are also colored in red. Transportation routes are noted in great detail; including street names, railroads, and waterways. Various locations of interest are individually labeled, such as Grant Park Stadium (under construction), the Municipal Pier, and several buildings within the inset map of the Loop (center left). Surrounding the image is a border identifying Chicago's new street numbering system which was officially implemented about a decade prior to publication. Further information on the grid is available in the upper left. Dated using the presence of the Michigan Avenue Bridge (1920) and the absence of the Chicago Theater (opened in 1921).

Condition: Very Good. "The Clason Map Company was a pioneer of early road maps and atlases, and published this map of Florida originally around 1925. It shows numbered state highways in operation, as well as the pole markings for nine separate National Trails and "other posted roads." These routes, and their accompanying signage, were generally maintained by private groups, municipalities or trade organizations until the designation of the national numbered highway system in 1926. An inset map in the lower left shows the western end of the state, and a red callout in the upper right highlights the Daytona Highlands, "Florida's suburb of hills and lakes." This particular example of the road map must have been issued by a real estate agent or the local chamber of commerce affiliated with Daytona Beach, as the brown paper covers also praise the oceanside city. Furthermore, this copy also came with a smaller, large scale map of Daytona Beach dated to the mid 1930's. It shows the Florida East Coast Railway traveling up the coast adjacent to the Dixie Highway and labels numerous subdivisions and additions in the area. Of particular interest is the photograph on the verso, which shows the world famous Daytona Beach and road course. Text below the image promotes "staged auto speed classics during the coming winter season" organized by local speed demon and land speed record holder Sig Haugdahl. Though the venture, which took place in early 1936, ultimately lost the city money, the publicity and association with automobile racing would forever cement Daytona Beach on the map." Sheet Width (in) 12.4 Sheet Height (in) 16.4 Condition Description The map folds into 20 panels affixed to the center of tri-fold paper covers. Creasing along fold lines and moderate offsetting present in several areas. One spot of soiling on the front cover, but otherwise it is clean and intact. The accompanying map of Daytona Beach is worn along fold lines and has a few pinholes.
