From the offering sheet; " I am offering an antique Yokum Road Guide For 1910 that was published as an advertising tool for Yokum Motor Sales, Port Huron and Bad Axe, Michigan.

If you like antique cars, antique maps and antique advertinsing this booklet is for you! The 4 x 9 inch book has 98 pages and is in good condition." The entire focus of this book is on a car dealer, former auto manufacturer, went into the guide business. The routes as laid out contain a regional, parochial perspective which makes this all the more unique. This antique atlas sets a standard for subsequent books of maps for the purpose of traveling by auto over less than desirable roads. This is possibly the only surviving copy. This is a cornerstone piece for any collection of early automobilia. Good condition. The heavy paper wrappers are frayed at the corners going into the printed matter. The spine is stapled and then scotch paper. The resulting binding is quite firm. See pics. …
