[Texas Directory]:

$2,500 · Offered by William Reese Company

TEXAS BUSINESS DIRECTORY FOR 1878-9. An excellent directory, published by Shaw and Blaylock in Galveston, and listing businesses all over the state. These printers issued the first such directory in 1876 (only the Yale copy is located) and advertised that it would be revised annually, but we can find no record of any other years than this and suspect that this was the second and last volume issued. After 1880 various city directories would supersede its usefulness. Scarce, with most institutional copies held by Texas libraries.
