A Modern Guide to “The City by the Golden Gate”! Vintage tourist guide book for the beautiful city of San Francisco! Dating to the mid-1950s, this 34 page booklet is in excellent condition with all pages intact. Full color period photos. Some light cover abrasion with a minor crease in the upper right corner.
Lots of fun! Lots of lists of places to go. Lots of tips and advice. Lots of phone numbers like Tuxedo 5-4605.
Some of it can be quite amusing in that it shows how much times have changed! “For women – suits, topcoats and small hats in the darker colors are appropriate. Light-weight apparel is seldom required. White shoes or slacks for street wear are not advised. For men – business suits, tweeds or conservative sports clothes are standard. White shoes, flannels or white formals are not in vogue.” How very different from today, when jeans and a tee-shirt is considered suitable in high society and the only hat worn is a backwards baseball cap!
Attached in the back is a full-size foldout map with a complete Index of Streets in the City and County of San Francisco.
