Aggiungi al carrello4to. xix, [1], 210, [2], 72, 47, [1] pp., business pages in pink-tinted paper, and with early text illustrated ads. With text photo illustrations of women telephone operators, and 2 colour-printed inserted ads for Bushong Printers & the forthcoming Yeon Building to be completed in 1911. Gray-brown printed softcovers, cover art o…f PT&T logo front cover, original braid hanger still intact (minor uniform interior toning, couple corners w/ creasing, minor scuffing), still a VG bright copy, w/ ink MS note indicating "Relieved by a new one, April 31, 1911." First edition of this exceedingly scarce telephone directory for Portland & Oregon City, OR, un-incorporated Multnomah & Clackamas Counties, as well as Vancouver, WA and Clark County in the Progressive Era. Of additional interest is the first inclusion of Salem, OR in the PT&T Telephone directory. This exceptional reference not only offers an essential tool in tracking residents in the Portland-Vancouver area at the beginning of the 20th-Century, but also lists many of the Chinese-American & Japanese-American residents in Portland's very small Chinatown, as well as businesses including restaurants, groceries & laundries. Of note are listings for such notable Chinese-Americans as Seid Gain Back, and Seid Gain Back, Jr., who at the time were two of the wealthiest businessmen on the West Coast, as well as James & Nellie Brown, Chinese-American photographers in Portland, OR. The Pacific Telephone & Telegraph Co. had been formed from the Pacific States Telephone Co. in 1907, just 3 years before, and nearly 30,000 more telephones than those just 11 years before. No copies in Worldcat.
