Description
San Francisco: San Francisco Chamber of Commerce, 1921. Very good. First edition; 9 x 4 1/2; pp. [21]; beige wraps, printed and ruled in black; illustrated with a centerfold map; minor spotting to margins of wraps; a small nick to top edge of front wrap; personal stamp to title page of Dr. Alexander Thomas Leonard, Jr. - a decorated WWI veteran and a noted collector of Californiana; overall in very good condition. Benjamin McKie Rastall, a native of Colorado Springs and author of "The Cripple Creek Strike of 1893," came to California in the early 20th century, after working for the New York State Department of Labor as an economic expert. As an industrial engineer with the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce, Rastall wrote his current program, which would become the first of its kind, coordinated plan for the city's industrial and commercial expansion and improvement. Meticulously laid out, the work to be undertaken fell into six divisions, including city structure, conditions of living, business development, industries, government, and the greater San Francisco region. A few copies at California institutions; none other in the trade (as of October 2021).
