Baltimore City Blue Book, Second Edition
This is not a pulp magazine. This is a Baltimore City Directory or civic guide, specifically a second edition published by Mules Printing Co. The OCR text contains no fiction content whatsoever. Instead, it documents a comprehensive listing of Baltimore municipal positions and their annual salaries across multiple city departments (Buildings, Street Cleaning, Lamps and Lighting, Harbor Board, Health, Fire, and others). It includes contact information for various local businesses and services—grocers, plumbers, carpenters, funeral directors, cobblers, pharmacies—and advertisements for commercial establishments. There are no stories, serials, or narrative content of any kind. This appears to be a legitimate public administrative and commercial reference guide rather than entertainment literature.
