ANNUAL BUSINESS REVIEW OF LANCASTER COUNTY, franklin publishing co. philadelphia pa, Containing also a complete shipper's Guide of the State
73 pages plus additional for shipper's guide Measures approx 11.25" x 8.5"
This is an amazing business review of Lancaster County. It mentions businesses by name and gives a paragraph or more description of the business. Illustrated throughout with lovely engravings of products.
This is an awesome history reference and geneology book for those businesses who were operating in the late 1800s. There are too many to mention. But look closely to see the awesome detail. Also, each town description discusses # of inhabitants, prr railroad locations, etc.
There is significant wear and tear to cover, but the pages are awesome. The cover has missing pieces and the last pages are damaged, so there is part of the shipping and payment guide missing from those torn pages. The catalog is awesome and seems complete with a wealth of information. . Excellent geneology/history.
Here are the towns included:
Some of the businesses deal in:
Clothing, cigars, stoves, distillery, coal, wagons, plumber/toilets, seeds, furniture, hotels, hardware, bakers, cabinet works, tinsmith, stoves, heaters, ranges, roofing, physician, blacksmith, coffee, etc., etc.
