Description:
Map printed in black & red. 39x52 cm (15¼x20½"), folding into original printed wrappers 23x9.5 cm (9x3¾").
A very early radio map of the U.S. showing location of major radio stations operating in 1925. The country is divided by use of printed color into nine "Radio Districts" and four time zones. There is also a "Log By Wave Length" in which one can record the signal strength of stations received (8 pp., unused in this copy). The wrappers bear the title "Bankers Life Radio Map of the United States Including Principal Stations in Canada, Cuba and Porto Rico and Mexico Cit, Mexico." OCLC locates two copies of a 1924 edition; one "Xerographic copy made ca. 2000" of the 1925 edition, with no mention of the wrappers; and two holdings of an "internet resource URL" of the 1925 edition - but no actual copies of this 1925 edition.
