Description:
This colorful transit brochure compliments of the F.W. Woolworth Co. in celebration of the New York World's Fair is a pair of color maps: a bird's eye view of the New York World's fair with numbered key and a Rapid Transit Map of Greater New York. Both maps advertise the F.W. Woolworth Company. To prepare for a visit to the New York World's Fair, or in case a visitor to the fair wants a souvenir, this map in a large block usually reserved for a map's title advertises "Woolworth's Headquarters for World Fair Souvenirs At Your Home Town Prices."
The F.W. Woolworth Co. introduces its Fountain and Lunch Department and "The Borden Exhibit" which includes a view of "The Dairy World of Tomorrow" for hungry fair goers.
The cover art creator's initials appear "HS" in the lower right corner of the brochure cover.
