    Description

    January 15, 1911 New Orleans Telephone Directory Telephone Book Storyville, etc. Book is complete and still tightly bound. First two pages separated when I bent the cover back to take a picture of the inside cover. The two loose pages are not listings; they are facts about New Orleans. Pages have toned and are fragile from the passage of time. Book measures 9" by 5 7/8" and is 432 pages in length. I'm not going to bend the pages back to take anymore scans. The ones I've taken should give one a good idea of the contents. Also, most of the New Orleans businesses of that time are listed. At that time, they were still many two digit and
    three digit phone numbers.
    Over 100 druggist listed, over 40 railroads,
    restaurants, etc.
    Many of the "Storyville Ladies" and gentlemen are listed in the book.
