In striking colors it shows plainly— The counties, county seats, and all the towns in the state. The congressional districts, pjainly outlined and numbered. ’ The railroads, interurbans, rivers and canals. The distances between all railroad stations. Around the margin of this map are good photographs of all the governors of Indiana, from Governor Arthur St. Clair of the Northwest Territory down to and including . Gov. J. Frank Hanly On the reverse side of the map is a complete list of all towns and postoffices in the state, arranged in alphabetical order, with the population of each. The map is indexed with marginal figures and letters, so that a town, however large or small, may be instantly pointed out. With the establishment of rural routes the postoffices of many small towns have been closed and the people are served by rural route out of a neighboring town. This map shows how to address mail for such places.

The Home Library Wall Chart would easily sell for $2.00 at any book store or map supply house. It will prove a valuable feature in any home or office or school.
