Pub Note:
An unusual geographical game played with a map of the United States (painted on wooden slats that roll up) and pins with the names of cities (lacking). Under the title is the explanation: ôThe cyclopaedic character is derived from the combination of the map proper with its descriptive blocks representing capitals and business centers, and which always accompany it." There is also a printed sheet of instructions - ôRules for playing the games of the Zylo-Karta." This copy sits in a wooden box with printed paper label on which is written in pencil ôBest Deportment for Age, Feb. to June æ88. Hesperian School. To Mary Smithers From J.A. Ford."
