Note
Promotional black and white pictorial map by the KLZ Broadcasting Station, Denver Colorado. Date estimated. Includes humorous pictographs representing different areas of the U.S. Shows state boundaries, major cities, railroads, industrial areas. Includes compass rose oriented with the north to upper margin. Relief shown pictorially. Note on the bottom right corner indicates the map should be returned to Mrs. Franklin. There are 2 dates hand-written on the back: 1919 and 1921. KLZ started broadcasting as KLZ in 1922, so the dates have little to do with the date it was printed.

Turzak, Charles (1899-1985)
Note
Date estimated. Mounted on heavy paper on linen. Founded as Stewart and Clark Company in 1905, Stewart-Warner Corporation, still has a brand presence. It has been a major manufacturer of instruments, appliances, scoreboards, and the like. Illinois born artist Charles Turzak was the only son of Czechoslovakian immigrant parents. His father was a coal miner who worked long days, so many rural chores occupied Turzak’s boyhood years. He escaped his duties to do what he enjoyed most: carefully carving miniature animals from peach seeds, which he would sell for pennies. He went on to become a well known woodworker, woodcut artist, and watercolorist who exhibited at the Art Institute of Chicago and worked for the Works Progress Administration, completing a mural for the Chicago Post Office. From 1942, he was art director of Today's Health Magazine.

Pictorial map shows downtown Boston commemorating the centennial of the birth of Alexander Graham Bell (1847-1922), who invented the telephone there in 1876 and co-founded the Bell Telephone Company the following year. The map is filled with drawings of buildings, landmarks, history of telephone, and historic sites, with an emphasis on “Historic Telephone Sites of Boston,” which are listed in the legend on the left and notations. On the right is a reproduction of an early advertisement for Boston’s Telephone Dispatch Co., explaining how a telephone call is made and listing current business customers as an inducement for others to join the system. The bell-shaped emblem of the Bell Telephone Company recurs throughout, enclosing the cartouche and a series of pictures showing the evolution of phone design at the top. The border design features a looping line of telephone wires connecting four illustrations related to the theme. Map shows streets, railroads, piers, and parks.
