Scope and Content

Various travel guides from Saugatuck and Michigan, along with ads from local businesses. The majority of these items are more recent, with the exception of a few objects dating to the 1930s and 1950s. These are all the original materials and there doesn't seem to be an obvious reason for the collection, other than they are from Saugatuck. The ads consist of flyers, brochures, and business cards from restaurants, shops, hotels, etc in the area. The travel guides are typical travel guides for Michigan with popular locations and attractions pointed out along the road. There is also a copy of the book "Publicity and Promotion Guide for Businesses," which dates to 1950. This may have been collected as a reference for Lorenz's own business or simply for historic value. 1 box-ads and travel guides Including "Michigan's Bed & Breakfast and Historic Inns" 1987 booklet which lists Kemah, the Kirby, Newnham Inn, Park House and the Porches

It is unknown what this number signifies so it has been left in place for the time being, until that can be determined. For this record, though, it will be referred to as Box 5 and will have a corresponding label. Finding Aids: Charles Lorenz Local business Advertisement Travel Guide Level of Description: Series
