Sun Valley Diary

This elaborate, comb-bound booklet says that it is “Compliments of the Union Pacific Railroad,” suggesting it was given to Sun Valley Lodge guests, or maybe VIPs. Printed in February, 1954–too late for the railroad to give it to customers as Christmas gifts–the booklet includes calendars for 1954, 1955, and 1956 in the back. Diary pages list days of the month without specifying weekdays, so the book–which is more of an appointment calendar than a diary–could be used in any year.
