A Dictionary for Tired People. New York: Rogers and Company, 1903. A miniature promotional booklet published by the Goodyear Tire Company. Humorous (and occasionally politically incorrect from a today’s vantage point) the paperbound work is an illustrated dictionary of words from A to Z that apply to cars, their parts, their maintenance, etc. For example, “Garage – A horseless livery stable; place from which you may quickly secure your automobile un less your chauffeur has taken it for an evening out…” Includes a postcard to be sent to Goodyear for other publications of interest. A unique gift for the vintage automobile car enthusiast! 5 ¼ x 3 ¼ inches, overall. Excellent condition save minor scuffing along spine edge.
