MEMPHIS: The Capital of the Mississippi Valley, 1922

MEMPHIS

...The Capital of the Mississippi Valley, 1922

This book of Memphis photos and facts was published by the Memphis Chamber of Commerce in 1922. The contents are similar to their previous publications - a photo book of all that's good about their city. The book includes early photos of Main Street, hotels, theatres, buildings, businesses, parks, churches, and homes. It's all designed to make Memphis desirable for companies and individuals who are interested in moving to the area. From the book: "The Memphis Chamber of Commerce, which issues this booklet, devotes its efforts to the development of every phase of commercial, financial, industrial, civic, and social life of the city. Whatever will benefit Memphis commands its active interest".

Thanks to the University of Memphis Libraries, Special Collections for allowing us to scan and post the complete book.
