Re: Antedating of "yellow pages" (1930)

[Steve Boatti]

Per "rhdonnelley.com", the website of the Reuben H. Donnelley Corporation, a
large directory publsher, Mr. Donnelley published the first classified
directory in Chicago in 1881. It is unclear from their site whether it was on yellow
paper or was called the "yellow pages." Perhaps someone should ask them what
their corporate archives reveal.
