This is an early automobile road atlas with paper cover and alternate title "Best Roads of All States Across the Continent Motor Atlas. Paved Roads - Road Distances." Cover with a pictorial ad for "Pep Boys," shortly after the founding of the company and showing 5 locations in Philadelphia and one in Camden. Remarkably, their logo is virtually identical to the one used today. On the inside front cover is a double-page advertisement "Points of Interest in Philadelphia for Sesqui-Centennial International Exposition Visitors," and another full-page ad with the same title is on the back cover. Maps are printed in blue and generally measure 14" x 11". A very fine and early highway atlas.
