Rare, unlisted pocket map designed for bicyclers. Filled with bicycle related advertisements: Hartford Single-Tube Tires; Columbia Bicycles; Pierce (The Genteel Mount); hotels and road houses, companies specializing in sales and repair, and more. Handy 8vo size, attractive pictorial wrappers with scene of cyclists, 40pp, ads, six folding maps with some color, each bound in accordion style, allowing the cyclist to flip through without unfolding the maps. Apparently an item of some rarity.
