Description

This eclectic collection of matchbooks (mapbooks?) is emblematic of a bygone era. Combining the ubiquitous firestarter with basic company information, simple directions, and a quick and catchy advertisement offered an effective marketing package for the nation’s millions of drivers (and smokers) in the second half of the 20th century.

A diverse array of businesses from coast to coast and beyond are represented within the collection of nearly 90 ‘maps’; including hotels, restaurants, airlines, military installations, service stations, and more.
