Description

Rand McNally Map of the World that could be hung on the wall. The front of the map shows that it could be purchased for 50 cents and there is a stamp at the bottom that says, "Saugatuck Drug Company." Most likely, this is where the map was purchased by Dianne Moker, or one of her family members. The map still has its mounting instructions which indicates that it was never hung up. Based on the style of the map, it is most likely from the 1930s, but the exact date is unconfirmed. It displays the world, with North and South America in the center. Each country is labeled and highlighted in different colors.
