MEMPHIS 1907

 

This book of Memphis photos was published for the Memphis S. H. Kress and Company.  The photos are almost identical to those in the Memphis 1904 book published for the McCrorey Five and Dime Store - only they have been rearranged and several new ones added.  This is the 3rd version of the book we've discovered.  Each one has a different color on the cover.  Obviously the book was sold as a souvenir photo book in the Kress and McCrorey Stores.
 

< Sincere thanks to George Whitworth, Memphis Attorney-Historian, for allowing us to scan and post his book
