Early 20th-Century Phoenix DirectoryA rare early 20th-century Phoenix and Salt River Valley Directory styled the 11th annual edition. The directory lists 21,600 names, suggesting a population of 48,600 for the Phoenix area. According to the introduction, the population number was "arrived at by multiplying the number of names by 2 1/4 to allow for the number of women and children whose names are not in the directory." The original price of the directory - a rather steep $10.00 - is boldly printed on the title page. The directory's high price may have limited sales and thus factored in its present rarity.Far more than a list of names, this century-old Phoenix directory stands as a primary source document for the social, economic, and cultural transformations that unfolded in Phoenix and the Salt River Valley in the early 20th century. An era of growth and prosperity, the 1920s represented a pivotal period in the Southwest as cities like Phoenix expanded rapidly, spurred by advances in irrigation, the growth of agriculture, and an influx of settlers. By shedding light on who settled in these cities, what industries were prospering, and how the urban landscape was evolving, this directory provides a richly-detailed historical snapshot of the region.In addition to the alphabetical list of businesses and private citizens, this directory reflects the interconnectedness of the various communities covered. It paints a picture of a bustling and thriving region, providing unique insight into the activities of its residents. Viewed as a historical document, the directory provides a window on the social and cultural development of these cities, which would, in time, transform into a major urban center of the American Southwest.Contents summary:Pages 1-47: ads, including index and illustrated ads for Dwight B. Heard Investment Co. building; the O'Malley Lumber Co.; St. Joseph's Hospital; interior of Grand Cafe on West Adams Street; and lobby of Hotel Adams.
