Rand McNally is an American publisher of maps, atlases, textbooks, and globes for travel, reference, commercial, and educational uses. It also provides online consumer street maps and directions, as well as commercial transportation routing software and mileage data. The company is headquartered in the Chicago suburb of Skokie, Illinois with a distribution center in Richmond, Kentucky. In 1856, William Rand opened a printing shop in Chicago and two years later hired a newly arrived Irish immigrant, Andrew McNally, to work in his shop. The shop did big business with the forerunner of the Chicago Tribune, and in 1859 Rand and McNally were hired to run the Tribune's entire printing operation. In 1868, the two men formally established Rand McNally & Co. and bought out the Tribune's printing business. The company initially focused on printing tickets and timetables for Chicago's booming railroad industry, and the following year supplemented that business by publishing complete railroad guides. In 1870, the company expanded into printing business directories and an illustrated newspaper, the People's Weekly. According to company lore, during the Great Chicago Fire in 1871, Rand McNally quickly had two of the company's printing machines buried in a sandy beach of Lake Michigan, and the company was up and running again only a few days later. The very first Rand McNally map, created using a new cost-saving wax engraving method, appeared in the December 1872 edition of its Railroad Guide. Rand McNally became an incorporated business in 1873, with Rand as its president and McNally as vice president. The Business Atlas, containing maps and data pertinent to business planning, was first published in 1876. The atlas is still updated today, now titled the Commercial Atlas & Marketing Guide. The Trade Book department was established in 1877, publishing such titles as The Locust Plague in the United States. Rand McNally began publishing educational maps in 1880 with its first line of maps, globes, and geography textbooks, soon followed by a world atlas. The company began publishing general literature in 1884 with its first title, The Secret of Success, and the Textbook department was established in 1894 with The Rand McNally Primary School Geography. Also in 1894, the company opened an office in New York City headed by Caleb S. Hammond, who later started his own map company, C. S. Hammond & Co.. Rand McNally's first road map, the New Automobile Road Map of New York City & Vicinity, was published in 1904. In 1910, the company acquired the line of Photo-Auto Guides from G.S. Chapin, which provided photographs of routes and intersections with directions. Andrew McNally II (son of Frederick McNally) personally took photos on his honeymoon for the Chicago-to-Milwaukee edition. The company continued to expand its book publishing business, with best-selling children's books such as The Real Mother Goose (1916) and Kon-Tiki (1950). Rand McNally was the first major map publisher to embrace a system of numbered highways. One of its cartographers, John Brink, invented a system that was first published in 1917 on a map of Peoria, Illinois. In addition to creating maps with numbered roads, Rand McNally also erected many of the actual roadside highway signs. This system was subsequently adopted by state and federal highway authorities. The oil industry quickly developed an interest in road maps, enticing Americans to explore and consume more gasoline. In 1920, Rand McNally began publishing road maps for the Gulf Oil Company, to be freely distributed at its service stations. By 1930, Rand McNally had two major road map competitors, General Drafting and Gousha, the latter of which was founded by a former Rand McNally sales representative. The Rand McNally Auto Chum, later to become the ubiquitous Rand McNally Road Atlas, was first published in 1924. The first full-color edition was published in 1960. It became fully digitized in 1993. The Goode's School Atlas, named for its first editor, Dr. J. Paul Goode, was published in 1923. It became a standard text for high school and college geography curricula. Later retitled Goode's World Atlas, it is now in its 22nd edition. The first Rand McNally Travel Store was opened in New York City in 1937. In the 1990s it was turned into a chain with 29 locations, but by 2005 all had been closed as a cost-saving measure. Rand McNally moved its headquarters from Chicago to suburban Skokie, Illinois in 1952. The company opened its Versailles, Kentucky, book publishing plant in 1962 with 300,000 square feet (28,000 m2) and 23 employees. In 1994, the plant was the first to implement a new Kodak computer-to-plate printing system.[1] When the plant was sold in 1997, it was over 1,000,000 square feet (93,000 m2) and employed 1,255 people. In 1961, because the company was not satisfied with the ability of existing map projections to create intuitive depictions of the entire world, they commissioned Dr. Arthur H. Robinson to develop what became known as the Robinson projection, which became very popular and was used extensively for constructing maps of the entire world.[2] Rand McNally began creating maps digitally in 1982. The sole remaining group, publishing, represented the core mapmaking business of the company. In November 1997, the McNally family completed its divestiture by selling its majority ownership to AEA Investors for a reported $500 million.[12] Much of the purchase price was leveraged, meaning the company took on significant debt hedging on future earnings. AEA intended to capitalize on Rand McNally's brand recognition by bringing digital mapping to the masses and attracting public investors during the dot-com boom. However, the company fell behind the technology curve of upstarts such as MapQuest and fell further into debt.[13] AEA's stake in the company was acquired by Leonard Green & Partners through a prepackaged Chapter 11 restructuring deal on January 15, 2003.[12] In December 2007, Patriarch Partners, which had previously been a minority owner, bought out Leonard Green and the remaining minority owners to become the sole owner of Rand McNally. William Rand founded his print shop in 1856 and "Rand, McNally & Co." was formally established in 1868. The company was incorporated in 1873 with Rand as the first president and McNally vice-president. When Rand retired in 1899, Andrew McNally assumed the role of president until his death in 1904. Andrew's son, Frederick McNally, became president upon his father's death, just as the age of the automobile was beginning. When Frederick McNally died in 1907, his sister's husband, Harry Beach Clow, became president. Andrew McNally II took over in 1933. He and his heirs, Andrew McNally III and IV, successively served as president until 1993. 1992 – Nicholstone Holdings – Subsidiary companies (Nicholstone Software Services, Nicholstone Looseleaf, and Nicholstone Bindery) were folded into Rand's Book Services Group, extending its printing and binding businesses and adding capabilities for manufacturing, packaging, and distributing computer software and documentation.[31] 1993 – Allmaps Canada – Became a wholly owned subsidiary company, Rand McNally Canada, and was subsequently sold to Canadian Cartographics Corporation in 2008. Under contract from Rand McNally, CCC will continue to create Canadian products under the Rand McNally name and distribute U.S. products to the Canadian market.[20][30] 1996 – Gousha – One of Rand McNally's longtime rivals, its 82 employees unexpectedly found their Comfort, Texas, building locked up on the morning of April 18 with a note taped to the door stating that the company had been purchased by Rand McNally and all their jobs had been eliminated.[32] Gousha's entire product line was discontinued. The company has always been named "Rand McNally," but it has been jocularly referred to as "Rand and McNally," as in the opening to O. Henry's story, A Municipal Report: "...it is a rash one who will lay his finger on the map and say: 'In this town there can be no romance—what could happen here?' Yes, it is a bold and a rash deed to challenge in one sentence history, romance, and Rand and McNally." Portions of this page may be (c) 2006 Muze Inc.

  • American Promotional Road Mapping in the Twentieth Century James R
    American Promotional Road Mapping in the Twentieth Century James R. Akerman ABSTRACT: This paper sketches the broad outlines of the practices of map publishers, industrial concerns, motor clubs, and state governments to convince Americans to become motoring tourists and, hence, to consume the goods, services, and landscapes these interests wished to promote. Their efforts were rooted in the promotional mapping of American railroads during the nineteenth century and in bicycle mapping. Yet, the particular demands of automobile travel, including long-distance navigation under the control of the travelers themselves, argues for an almost unique dependence on maps, which in turn gave road maps considerable value as promotional tools. KEYWORDS: Automobile road maps, promotional cartography, map publishing, map marketing, map use, consumers Introduction control, have maps been necessary to sort out and navigate the options.

This publicity, which included descriptive accounts, rail­ road propaganda, newspaper and magazine material and advertisements! was largely responsible for the city's phenomenal growth. This thesis is a study of the promotional practices used during Los Angeles' formative years, and deals with the psychological and sociological aspects of the booster literature of that era; The self-interests of the railroads, the real estate specula­ tors, the oil, citrus, manufacturing and other enthusiasts provided the impetus for what became the most intensive public relations effort the country had yet experienced, and which produced unprecedented results.

  • Pleasure in the Idea / the Atlas As Narrative Form
    PLEASURE IN THE IDEA / THE ATLAS AS NARRATIVE FORM DENIS WOOD School of Design, North Carolina State University Raleigh, North Carolina, U.S.A. INTRODUCTION 1 IGHT NOW I'M READING a book called The Butcher's Boy. It's by Thomas Perry. I don't know too much about him, but I think it's his Rfirst book. I've been reading it two nights now, last thing before I turn out the light. I'm about a third of the way through and it's okay. On the cover there's a picture of a handgun wrapped up in string and paper like a piece of meat, and the words, "The most electrifying novel of hunter and hunted since The Day of the Jackal!" The Washington Post is quoted as having said, "A brilliant suspense thriller, reminiscent of Graham Greene!" The New Yorker called it, "Totally enthralling!" The Chicago Tribune said, "The ending is a gasser!" I wouldn't know. I'm just reading it for the information, in case some day I get around to writing a detective story of my own. Which is preposterous, on the face of it. But there are people like this, people who claim to read detective stories for nothing but what they learn about the law or who claim to dip into dungeons and dragons solely for the history; who buy romances for their exotic settings alone or read outer space fantasies only for the science. But is there anyone left who still believes them? Isn't it acknowledged that these things are read for their blood and macho heroics, for their sex and fantasy? That they're read to kill time? To achieve the uncomplicated and frankly disgusting pleasures of a 'good read'? There are people who make these claims too (and proudly, as though daring you to challenge their 'unbridled hedonism'), but I find them as difficult to believe as those who claim to read detective stories for the facts.

Los Angeles: Chamber of Commerce, ca. 1920. The UC Irvine Libraries . Irvine, California . 2001 Illustrated brochure. (Item 1) Foreword Welcome to the UC Irvine Libraries’ fall 2001 exhibit, “Are We There Yet?” Vacationing in California, 1870-1940. This exhibit is not only delightful to view, but thought provoking in its exploration of the changing ways in which leisure travelers to the Golden State experienced its natural and man-made wonders during the first seventy years of California tourism. The Department of Special Collections and Archives holds exceptional collections documenting California’s history and culture, as revealed by the small slice of our collections that is on view in this exhibit. Historians, social scientists, and other scholars have become increasingly interested in the influence of “ordinary people’s” activities and preferences upon the evolution of our society and culture. Library collections, such as those on display, play an increasingly important role as primary sources for study and research that helps us all understand our past and, consequently, our future. The exhibit was curated by William Landis, Manuscripts Librarian in Special Collections and Archives. Many of the items on display were donated to the Libraries over the last thirty-five years by members of the local community. They serve as a reminder that library research collections often begin as carefully selected or personally produced family treasures.
