RARE 1899 Hagerstown, MD Maryland POCKET BUSINESS DIRECTORY w/ BEER adv. COVER

Description

Here is a pocket-size Hagerstown, MD business directory that was given away at the beginning of 1899. It measures about 4.5 by nearly 3 inches. There is advertising on both covers with beer and liquor ads on the front. It has 32 pages with only 5/6 missing. The only other serious issues are the writing and tears on the pink pages at the front and back of the book. There are a couple pencil written names on the pages but nothing like at the front of the book. The interior pages only show a couple or so tiny wear spots but have no tears or other serious issues. This has become detached at the spine but fortunately both covers look good and only show minor wear for their age. There are some minor stains/small marks on the reverse cover. Fortunately the main issue on the front cover is some light pencil writing. It’s not too distracting and could likely easily be erased. This is a rare item since I found nothing like it online.
