Sunnyslope and Cactus Business Directory from the 1950s
I've had this directory since I rescued it from the dumpster when I was working for Valley National Bank, which became Bank One, in 1992. I've looked pretty carefully for a date on this publication, but never found one. If you see one, please let me know. Based on the cars and the buildings, I am estimating late 1950s. That's a 1958 Chevrolet pickup there making the turn in the photo on the front cover, so the earliest this publication could be would be 1957, if that truck was brand new then. The vantage point of the photo is looking east on Dunlap at about 3rd Street. The mountains are the same now, but that's about it! Dang, how embarassing that they misspelled Sunnyslope (Sunsyslope) on the front cover right under Ambulance Service. If I misspell anything on this page, you can send me a correction. For them, it lasts forever. A drawback of print! The building at the far right of the photo is AAA Furniture. In the circle it says Westinghouse Appliances. It's interesting that AJ Bayless didn't advertise in this directory. I guess they didn't have to. AJ Bayless was bought out by Bashas years ago, and all that is left of the name is AJs, which is now an upscale grocery store.
Page 2. Skyliner Aparments, Refrigerated, Heated Pool, Ultra Modern. It says 239 N. 7th Street, but it should be 9239 N. 7th Street. Skyline Vista Homes, Joe T. Bailey, Construction and Realty. Skyline Vista Homes are between 8th and 10th Street, from Alice to the canal. Metropolitan Fire Department at 8829 N. Central, which is the Sunnyslope Auto - Parts & Machine as of this writing. The Metropolitan Fire Department had 3 trucks and one emergency car, 3500 gallons of water on trucks, 1 mile of hose, first-aid equipment, 3-way radios, and apparently six arms per man. It looks like it served north to Bell Road, west to 27th Avenue, south to Bethany Home Road, then it jogged to Olive (It says Olive, not Dunlap, on this map because back then Dunlap began east of Central) then east to, uh, I can't tell. I guess you just hoped that you didn't have a fire! Before I paid the "low annual fee" I would want to know if my house was covered! It was franchised by Arizona Corporation Commission as a Public Service Utility. Lundberg-Hansen Mortuary, 24 Hour Ambulance Service, Every Sickroom Need, Oxygen, Wheelchairs, Hospital Beds, Walkers, Medicinal Gases, Central and Dunlap.

Hey, remember that this was in the 1950s, that was a lot of money back then! The Sunnyslope Funeral Home was at 15 E. Olney Lane. I'm not familiar with that address, are you? There's a drawing of the building and also a photo with a station wagon parked in front of it. It says, Ralph L. Sage, 4526 E. Weldon with a telephone number WI 5956, call after 6. Duffy's Cocktail Lounge looks pretty cheerful at 9012 Cave Creek Road.

I see that they did a night shot to try to make it look a little more glamorous. Still, it was probably an important store at the time. Note the drawing of the kids - the kid on the left has the traditional old style of wearing bluejeans, rolled up at the cuffs, the other kid is going with the more "tailored" style.

Back cover. Check out the location of Paradise City, and Cactus. I have old maps that do have the community of Cactus labelled, but nothing anywhere that says *Paradise City*. Also note North Phoenix Airport at Cactus Road and Cave Creek, and Paradise Airport just south of Peoria Avenue west of 19th. Also, back then Shea Boulevard connected up with Northern and went to down to Myrtle. Dunlap is shown as Olive, which, at the time of this map, extended to Central Avenue, then became Dunlap. I love the little 1950s cowgirl cartoon drawing! I wonder who the artist was?
After scanning this in, I donated the original of this booklet to the Sunnyslope Historical Society and Museum, 737 E. Hatcher Road, Sunnyslope.

re: The Skyliner Apartments...
ReplyDeleteNorthern is 8000 north, and Butler is 8500. As I recall, the Skyliner Apartments (and the layout looks identical) were located directly across the street from Hansen Mortuary on Las Palmaritas & N. 7th St. Kinney's shoe store was just across the street to the south,and the SRP canal was just across Griswold south of that... There was a small complex almost identical rightto it right across from MHT and Dunkin' Donuts between Orchid & Alice. I remember when there were dirt lots between Butler and Dunlap...
