City Directory, 1929

On the eve of the Great Depression, the city directory for Kingston was nonetheless printed, listing inhabitants, organizations and businesses of the city. I find the most interesting parts of these directories, notwithstanding the interesting information they contain, to be the advertisements used to fill pages.

I intend to use some of these on my Hanley Spur layout - as advertising pasted to buildings or free-standing signs. They could still be present, years or decades after they were created.
