O.K., so a few hundred times I've mentioned having old Nevada phone books, or looked stuff up in them when someone has come up with an old match cover...or whatever. I thought a few of you might get a kick out of seeing some of the yellow pages from the 1945 Nevada phone book. It covers the whole state, but there's an "R" on the book, that I believe indicates the Reno version...cuz that's where most of the ads are from.
FYI, they didn't have a yellow pages catagory for casinos...so you learn to look for amusement places, beer parlors, clubs, cocktail lounges, hotels, restaurants, etc. Hopefully you can read them...
enjoy!

Just this one is from 1939...
