The National Automobile Club started delivering peace of mind to motorists on February 28, 1924. The first headquarters were established at 362 Pine Street, San Francisco, California. It was founded to provide assistance to motorists when that unexpected roadside emergency arose. Back then, hard-surfaced roads were a novelty, vehicle disablements prevalent, flat tires were commonplace, and gas was purchased at the general store. Engineers and cartographers in the Club's Engineering Department were engaged to log the roads of the state and to draft maps for the information and guidance of the members. NAC's maps remained in demand by the California Highway Patrol and the United States Bureau of Roads for decades. The N A C remains active today and provides roadside assistance for its many customers. Very good copy.
