    Description

    I'm offering a very good condition softcover copy of the extremely hard-to-find
    1938
    POINTS OF INTEREST IN AND AROUND WASHINGTON
    GUIDEBOOK
    compliments of
    AMERICAN OIL COMPANY / AMOCO
    . This fascinating advertising booklet provides six days of walking and driving tours to all the historical sites, parks and monuments in the Washington DC area. This 72-page travel/tour guide is loaded with Art Deco-style drawings of all the historical attractions in and around the FDR-era District of Columbia.
    This compact 7” x 4.75” booklet was provided to AMOCO gas stations in the 4th District of five-term Ohio congressman Rep. Robert F. Jones who served in the House of Representatives from 1938 to 1947.  Jones also chaired the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) from 1947 until his retirement in 1952.
    Any collector of historical travel guides and maps or vintage advertising pamphlets will find this book utterly enthralling.   My parents obtained this pre-WWII guide while traveling from Illinois to Washington and stopping at an Ohio AMOCO gas station on the old Lincoln Highway.  Since their passing, I have lovingly stored this vintage souvenir in my smoke, animal and kid-free home.
