INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL INDEX
R. L. POLK & CO., publishers of more than 750 city, county state and national Directories (publishers of the Clearwater City Directory since 1920), present to subscribers and the general public, this, the 1957 edition of the Clear- water, Dunedin and Largo City Directory, which also includes Baywood Village, Belleair, Clearwater Beach and Dunedin Isles, Harbor Bluffs, Highland Park and Safety Harbor.
Confidence in the growth of the community's industry, population and wealth, and in the advancement of its civic and social activities, will be maintained as sections of this Directory are consulted, for the Directory is a mirror truly reflecting the community to the world.
The enviable position occupied by R. L. POLK & CO.'S Directories in the estimation of the public throughout the country, has been established by render- ing the best in Directory service. With an unrivaled organization, and having had the courteous and hearty cooperation of the business and professional men and residents, the publishers feel that the result of their labors will meet with the approval of every user, and that the Clearwater, Dunedin and Largo Direc- tory will fulfill its mission as a source of authentic information pertaining to the community.
Four Major Departments
The four major departments are arranged in the following order: --
I. THE YELLOW PAGES constitute the first major department of the Di rectory. This embraces a complete list of the names and addresses of the busi- ness and professional concerns of the city arranged in alphabetical order under appropriate headings -- a catalog of all the activities of the city. Preceding this catalog, likewise grouped under appropriate headings, are the advertisements and business cards of firms and individuals desiring to present a more com- plete list of their products or services than is possible in the catalog itself. The Yellow Pages represent reference advertising at its best, and merit the attention of all buyers and sellers seeking sources of supply or markets for goods. In a busy and diversified community like Clearwater, the necessity of having this kind of information up-to-date and always immediately available, is obvious. The Directory is the common intermediary between buyer and seller, and plays an important role in the daily activities of the commercial, industrial and professional world.
II. THE ALPHABETICAL LIST OF NAMES of residents and business and professional concerns of Clearwater, Belleair, Clearwater Beach and Safety Harbor is the second major department, printed on white paper. This is the only record in existence that aims to show the name, marital status, occupation and address of each adult resident of the community, and the name, official person- nel, nature and address of each firm and corporation. Similar lists for Dunedin and Largo appear farther on in the Directory.
III. THE DIRECTORY OF HOUSEHOLDERS, INCLUDING STREET AND AVENUE GUIDE, covering Clearwater, Belleair, Clearwater Beach and Safety Harbor on green paper, is the third major department. In this section the num- bered streets are arranged numerically, followed by the named streets arranged in alphabetical order; the numbers of the residences and business concerns are arranged in numerical order under the name of each street, and the name of the householders and concerns are placed opposite the numbers. The names of the intersecting streets appear at their respective crossing points on each street. Special features of this section are the designation of tenant-owned homes and the listing of the telephone numbers. Similar lists for Dunedin and Largo appear farther on in the Directory.
IV. THE NUMERICAL TELEPHONE DIRECTORY, on blue paper, is the fourth major department, covering Clearwater, Dunedin and Largo.

INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL INDEX
Community Publicity
The Directory reflects the achievements and ambitions of the community, depicting in unbiased terms what it has to offer as a place of residence, as a business location, as a resort and as an educational center. To broadcast this information, the publishers have placed copies of this issue of the Directory in Directory Libraries, where they are readily available for free public reference, and serve as perpetual and reliable advertisements of Clearwater and vicinity.
The Clearwater Directory Library
Through the courtesy of the publishers of the Clearwater City Directory, a Directory Library is maintained in the offices of the Clearwater Chamber of Commerce, for free reference by the general public. This is one of more than 700 Directory Libraries installed in the chief cities of the U. S. and Canada by members of the Association of North American Directory Publishers, under whose supervision the system is operated and of which R. L. POLK & Co. is a member.
The publishers appreciatively acknowledge the recognition by those progres- sive business and professional men who have demonstrated their confidence in the City Directory as an advertising medium, with assurance that it will bring a commensurate return.
