This remarkable advertising map of Los Angeles is drawn on a circle with a rotating pointer centered on a metal rivet. The map extends to include Hollywood, Glendale, South Pasadena, Huntington Park and Inglewood, and locates points of interest including Hollywood Cemetery, Elysian Park, Exposition Park, Griffith Park, and more. The locating pointer is remarkably easy to use and is indexed to several hundred place names at left and on verso. The circle has 96 numbers around the circumference and the pointer has the letters A to Z. The combination of the two determines an exact location. Published by the Security Trust & Savings Bank on thick card stock.
