Jack Renie built his reputation as a map maker (cartography) from as far back as 1927. After a series of ventures he was approached in 1941 by Edwin A. Westberg and Gus M. Barthold, owners of California Blueprint & Map Center to draft a street atlas of Los Angeles County based on the widely used wall map of the county. Hence, “The New Renie Atlas of Los Angeles City and County, Pocket Edition” was born. The first edition was published in January 1942, and this example was part of that first publication. One look at the pages in the photos above and the Thomas Guide immediately comes to mind. The Pocket Edition measures 8-1/4″ by 5-3/4″ and is 1/2 thick. Must have had large pockets back then?
