Old Road Maps

This past weekend I stopped by Rosemary Remembrances II, a shop in Jim Thorpe, PA, and came across some old road maps which were never used and in mint condition with normal age markings. The father of the proprietress once worked for Atlantic Refining Company and had these maps all these years.

The maps are from 1956 and were published by Rand McNally for Atlantic Refining. These maps were once given out free at participating Atlantic Gas Stations when you filled your gas tank or asked for directions (and the station also checked your oil / tires and washed your windshield. Those where the days!). Rosemary Remembrances II has a good number of maps for PA, OH-IN, MA-CT-RI, NJ, and NC-SC. Also city maps for Miami, Pittsburgh, and Baltimore.

If you are interested in these old road maps, visit Rosemary Remembrances II in Jim Thorpe or contact Marj at (570) 325-4452 or Marj@RosemaryRemembrances.com.
