Description	The "Official Interurban Railway Guide" was published by the Eastern Ohio Traction Company in July 1910. The 58-page booklet provides time schedules for interurbans and includes dozens of advertisements. It is 9" x 4" (22.86 x 10.16 cm). The Eastern Ohio Traction Company was part of an interurban electric railway system serving the greater Cleveland area in the early twentieth century. The rails were first laid in the 1890s and the interurban passed through Chagrin Falls and Welshfield. The line was extended to Hiram in 1902 and Garrettsville in 1903. According to one newspaper account, children under age nine could ride free, but dogs had to be muzzled and pay a fare of 25 cents. The final segment of the line, projected to conclude in Youngstown, was never built and the last run on the line was in December 1914.
