Polk's Muskogee City Directory 1925 Containing an Alphabetical List of Citizens, Business Firms and Corporations..

Dallas: R.L. Polk & Co, 1924. About very good.. 526pp. Original printed cloth. Corners bumped, corners and spine ends worn. Older paper label on spine; ex-Sutro Library markings on the front endpapers and title page. Internally clean otherwise. Directory for the city of Muskogee, Oklahoma, with an alphabetical, listing of individuals as well as a section for commercial listings. Oklahoma saw a land rush with the advent of statehood in 1907 and the oil boom that followed. The population grew from around 4,000 people in 1900 to 25,000 by 1910 -- as can be seen by the size and substance of the present city directory. It also includes a street guide and is illustrated throughout with local advertisements. R.L. Polk was a major producer of directories across the western United States. Relatively scarce; we find runs of the directory at five institutions, all in either Oklahoma or Texas; also at Yale.
