Condizione: Very Good. This uncommon pocket map embraces the newfound freedom afforded by the increasing popularity of the automobile and the growing network of highways around Chicago. Eager motorists could travel to areas across Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, and Michigan - much of it accessible via paved roads. An inset of the Windy City, with Routes In and Out, is shown in the upper center. Distances between points are noted and a somewhat confusing variety of numbers and letters indicate specific routes. Prior to the introduction of the U.S. Numbered Highway System in 1926, auto trails were named and maintained independently by a variety of private and public organizations. Numerous examples, along with their respective sign markers, are listed in the lower right. The map was published around 1924 by the Clason Map Company of Chicago and Denver. The original covers indicate it was printed by the Standard Map Company and distributed compliments of Hotels Alexandria and Bradley (presumably owned by the same entity).
