MEMPHIS Greets You . 1916

 

This book of Memphis photos was published by The Businesses Men's Club Chamber of Commerce in 1916.  The contents are like most publications sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce - a photo book describing all that's good about a city.  There are vintage photos of every aspect of Memphis-life as it was in 1916.  The book depicts Memphis during this period as a great place to live, to visit, and to host your conventions or reunions.  This version is directed more toward businesses, and depicts Memphis as a great place to do business.

-  This 1916 "Memphis Greets you" is in the collection of Gene Gill
