  • 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.

    Rand McNally Catalogue 1998/99, Rand McNally, Rand McNally, 1998, , . DOWNLOAD HERE , , , , . 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.

    Are We There Yet? Vacationing in California, 1870-1940 An exhibit in the UC Irvine Main Library’s Muriel Ansley Reynolds Exhibit Gallery November 2001 - April 2002 Checklist compiled by William Landis Manuscripts Librarian Cover Illustration: Sunny Southern California. 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.
