194049051Greenville: Tri-State Coaches 1940. 1940. MISSISSIPPI DELTA BUS TRANSPORTATION. 8 1/2" x 7" in saddle-stapled printed wrappers. 10 pp. including wrappers. Illustrated. Route maps. Rare booklet from Tri-State Coaches promoting Greenville Mississippi as a transportation hub for their bus service in 1940. This piece is printed from entirely hand-drawn copy giving it a naive and charming feel from the ice-encrusted lettering of "AIR CONDITIONED coaches" to cursive treatment of certain key words to the drawing of one of the buses on the back cover. Centerfold map printed in red and black. It's intriguing to imagine who was riding these routes around and out of the Mississippi Delta in 1940--blues musicians Negro league baseball players African Americans headed north in the Great Migration etc. An amazing survivor and tangible bit of history. Some minor extremity rubs minor soil and a horizontal crease across midsection from booklet being folded long ago. A bit of rust around staples otherwise clean and sound.
