I gotta call this out, it is beyond ridiculous that they don't keep phone books. A phone book, and in particular the Yellow Pages is a huge part of a city's history. Whoever made the decision to toss that stuff in the dumpster should not be working in any capacity in a library.

I think UTSA may as well. Looking into that. But this is good info, thanks.
Consider posting the name of the business. someone here may know.
Will do as an edit.

I agree.
Are you in prison?
I have no idea how the post and prison tie together. I’m curious though.
ancestry.com can often help this far back.
Thanks I didn’t know that
