The Poole Brothers were leading printers and publishers of maps, guidebooks, brochures, and other promotional publications. Founded in 1870 by George Amos and William H. Poole, the firm operated until 1968. Servicing nearly every railroad in America, the Poole Bros. became the largest printing house in the country specializing in transportation and travel publications-later expanding to periodicals, such as Advertising Age and the New England Journal of Medicine. Among the numerous titles to their credit are: Map of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe R.R. Leased Lines and Connections (1884), Northern Pacific Railway and Connections (1887), Gold Fields of Alaska and How to Reach Them (1898) and Map of Burlington Route (1907).
