[or-roots] Ebay: Napa, Oregon 1961 Polks City Directory Rare

[Broad1000 at aol.com]

I'm probably the first but certainly not the last to correct the message  
below.  I learned all 36 counties in Oregon during the 4th grade and there  was 
no Napa County.  It is and has been always in California as well as all  the 
cities referenced.

1961 Napa, Oregon - City  Directory by Polk & Company Publishers 

Napa is in Napa County,  Oregon.

This directory also includes Calistoga, St. Helena, Oakville,  Rutherford and
Yountville.

This is a 6 1/4 x 9 1/4 x 2 3/8 inches  hardbound directory published by The
R.L. Polk & Company Publishers,  Los Angeles, CA. 

Picture shows spine, which has shelf wear, and  corners are bent and scuffed.
The binding and spine are somewhat loose, and  there is reinforcement tape on
the first page and Index page, but all the  pages are intact. The pages are
flat and clean, and in good shape, except  for normal age and dirt
discoloring. To my knowledge there are no missing  pages. There is no water
or mildew damage. This book is over 45 years old,  but it is in good
condition. All data is very readable. 

This  directory contains an Alphabetical Directory of  Business Concerns  and
Private citizens; a directory of  Householders, Occupants of  Office
Buildings and Other Business Places; Including a Complete Street and  Avenue
Guide; and Much Information of a Miscellaneous Character; a  Numerical
Telephone Directory; also the Yellow Pages with a Special  Advertising
Section and a Complete Classified List.  

Wives  names are listed with husbands, the name of the wife is shown in (  )
following the husband's name. In case of a widow by death, whenever  possible
the name of the deceased husband is shown in ( ). The occupation  and place
of employment is listed. Names in bold type denote advertisers.  Ownership or
co-ownership of a firm is indicated by showing the  individual's name in ( )
following the firm name. The head of the house is  indicated by h preceding
the street address; other members of the family  and roomers are indicated by
r preceding the street  address.




Starting bid  is $16.95, and will cost $3.95  for shipping within the
Continental United States, and includes delivery  confirmation. Insurance is
$2.95 extra, and is totally your choice. We  cannot be responsible for Post
Office mistakes. The best way to protect you  bid is to purchase  insurance.
