LOT OF TWO VINTAGE 1939 & 1942 - BOTH "H.M. GOUSHA COMPANY" (MADE IN CHICAGO, ILLINOIS) - BOTH STANDARD OIL CO. ROAD MAPS GIVEN OUT AT SERVICE STATIONS BACK IN THE GOOD OLD DAYS.  I'M NOT AN EXPERT ON ROAD MAPS & WILL TRY MY BEST TO EXPLAIN WHAT EACH MAP IS.
LISTED BELOW:
1.  1939 LOS ANGELES STREET AND VICINITY MAPS - " AT YOUR SERVICE FROM CANADA TO MEXICO" STANDARD STATIONS AND STARDARD OIL DEALERS. THIS OLD MAP HAS A PICTURE OF WHAT I THINK IS PERHAPS THE DOWNTOWN AREA OF LOS ANGELES?  IT HAS:  CITIES AND TOWNS, LAKES, RESERVOIRS, MOUNTAINS & CANYONS, BEACHES, PARKS, AIRPORTS, YACHT CLUBS, POINTS OF INTEREST, STADIA, ATHLETIC FIELDS, RACE COURSES, GOLF AND COUNTRY CLUBS.  IT ALSO HAS LOS ANGELES TRAFFIC LAWS, MOTOR LAWS.  I'M FROM LOS ANGELES AND I DON'T SEE ALL THE MASS FREEWAYS & THAT SYSTEM ON THIS...LONG BEFORE THIS CITY BECAME SO CROWDED & A MESS!
CONDITION:  THIS MAP IS VERY OLD & BEEN USED!    IT DOES HAVE STORAGE WEAR & A BIT YELLOW ON THE PAPER.  IT HAS A FEW SOIL SPOTS ON THE COVER.  SORRY TO SAY IT DOES HAVE SOME TORN PLACES ON IT AND SOME SLICES ALONG THE EDGE.  IT IS REALLY HARD TO HAVE A PERFECT MAP WITHOUT THE TORN SPOTS ON THE FOLD LINES.
BEING SOLD "AS IS" ITEM WITH SOME PROBLEMS!!!!!
2.  1942 (DURING WORLD WAR II) - LOS ANGELES STREET AND VICINTIY MAPS - "STANDARD STATIONS, INC. AUTHORIZED DISTRIBUTORS STANDARD DEALERS.  IT HAS A SPECIAL NOTE ON FRONT "IN COOPERATION WITH THE UNITED STATES MILITARY AUTHORITIES, WE HAVE ELIMINATED FROM THIS MAP ALL AIRPORTS AND MILITARY ESTABLISHMENTS WHICH THEY HAVE SUGGESTED".  THE MAP IS RED, WHITE & BLUE GRAPHICS ON THE FRONT OF A SMALL SERVICE STATION.
CONDITION:  AGAIN THIS IS AN OLD MAP...PRETTY SURE IT HAS BEEN USED & BEEN STORED.   IT SOME LIGHT WEAR TO THE COVERS AND INSIDE I SEE TWO SMALL HOLES AT THE CORNER OF FOLD LINES.  NO INK OR PENCIL MARKS.  THE MAP IS PRETTY CLEAN WITH A FEW DARK SMADGES ON IT.    A FUN MAP TO LOOK AT!
