1932réf. 14372Los Angeles: Clason Map Co. 1932. 710 by 554mm. 28 by 21.75 inches. Folding lithographed map and text printed on recto and verso of a single sheet. A tourist's map and guide to the 1932 Los Angeles Olympic games. Los Angeles was the host city for the tenth Olympic games held from July 30th to August 14th 1932. Due to the Great Depression the LA Olympics were held on a shoestring budget. This unfortunate fact as well as California's relative remoteness caused these games to have the lowest athlete participation since 1904. Despite these hurdles the standard of competition at the games was excellent and it was an extremely innovative Olympics. For example the duration of the games was shortened from over 79 days to only 16 days the male athletes were all housed together in the first ever Olympic Village the podium was used during medal ceremonies for the first time there was record attendance and it was the first time that the Olympics had actually been profitable for its host city. As a result of these games Los Angeles became internationally known for the first time for reasons other than Hollywood's film industry thereby cementing its longstanding reputation as America's major West-Coast city. As a result of the Great Depression Los Angeles was forced to use mostly preexisting stadiums for the events though they changed their names temporarily and in some cases modified or renovated them. The only newly built stadium was the Coliseum here called the Los Angeles Olympic Stadium which astounded visitors with its immense size. This pamphlet intended for use by visitors to the games includes a detailed map of the city as well as information about the history of Los Angeles its landmarks museums parks stadiums public transportation and of course the times venues and ticket prices for all the Olympic events. We can only trace two examples in institutional collections U.C. Berkley Stanford and one example to have appeared at auction. Clason Map Co., unknown

A very good copy of an important and very scarce item. OCLC locates 2 copies but one is an online resource and the other gives no location conceivably making this the the only known copy.Gail Borden invented condensed milk during the time af the Civil war and it was a huge success. Unlike regular milk it was portable over great distances had a very long shelf life and it was safe. Two brothers George and Charles Page from Illinois one of whom came into contact with condensed milk as a soldier in the civil war sought to emulate this success by opening a condensed milk factory is Switzerland a place renown for it’s dairy industry to supply the European market with condensed milk. They named it the Anglo-Swiss company as their target market was Great Britain. But they were successful beyond their dreams and by 1891 it had 12 factories across Europe and the US that exported worldwide. Anglo Swiss then expanded into the USA by purchasing its first factory in Middletown New York and its second around 1889 then the largest condensed milk factory in the world in the Page brothers' home town of Dixon Illinois. This book was likely printed as a celebration for the companies newly opened North American factories. It must have had a very small print run due to its luxurious production and was perhaps only given to large shareholders. At the same time as Page brothers were introducing condensed milt to Europe a young German pharmacist by the same of Henri Nestle had developed and was producing a viable powdered milk product that was used as a substitute for breast milk. He too was extremely successful. The competition between the companies was fierce. From the company's website -- "Nestlé Company’s history began in 1866 with the establishment of the Anglo-Swiss Condensed Milk Company by two US brothers Charles and George Page. Using plentiful supplies of fresh milk in Switzerland they applied knowledge gained in their homeland to establish Europe’s first condensed milk production facility in Cham. They began supplying the product under the Milkmaid brand to Europe’s industrial towns marketing it as a safe long-lasting alternative to fresh milk. In 1905 Henri Nestle’s company merged with Anglo-Swiss to form what is now known as the Nestlé Group." Nestle still produces condensed milk under the Milkmaid brand to this day.
