About This Item
Asbury Park NJ: [Asbury Park Chamber of Commerce], 1913. Pamphlet. Unpaginated, minimally fifty pages, softbound program in 12x9 inch color wraps resembling a magazine, staple-bound. Covers are edgeworn with a few little chips, plus corner-tip and spinefold abrasion. Lots of automobile camera-fodder and a skeletal aeroplane that sneaks into artwork on both covers, proving how modern is our city; in short, a uniquely weird catchpenny angling for newcomer real estate buyers. Two line maps, one showing "The best roads leading to Asbury Park", the second advancing the proposition that AP "is Absolutely Free From The Salt Marsh Mosquitoes of New Jersey". Best visual: back cover infant male with combed & parted blond hair. A final detail: a small irregular label is fixed to upper corner of cover bearing the typewritten message that "Your advertisement is marked X inside" (refers to Atlantic Coast Electric Light Co.; ad about 3/4 through, look for marginal pencil-lead X). A good copy.
