CAUTION
Pay no money in advance to itinerant Directory Canvassers. We are led to mention this from the fact that certain parties have been fraudulently using our publications as specimens, and by that means collecting money in advance. We ask no payment until the work is delivered, and our solicitors have strict orders not to take payment for either advertising or subscriptions.
