PREFACE.


-


The publishers take great pleasure in presenting this directory to the citizens of Des Moines and Polk County, feeling assured that it will prove to be the most reliable reference work of the entire county yet issued."


It contains a review of the resources and industries of the county, and and the trade, comfercejand varied interests of Des Moines, also a com- plete residence and business directory of the entire county. Following the residence of the city and suburban towns is that of the farmers and the towns of the county, and cards of our leading, enterprising business houses.


It was intended to have published the directory last fally and the work was in course of preparation, but on account of the change of the numbers of the lots in the resident portion we were obliged to re-canvass the city in order to secure the new numbers. : This delay caused some ' disappoint- ment to! many, but more to the publishers, as it necessitated so much greater expense. The directory of the' city, will be published annually hereafter, as the rapid growth of Des Moines renders a new work neces- sary every year.


The population of the county at this time is about 55,000. |The city of Des Moines, including her suburban towns, has 42,758 inhabitants, containing three and one half (which has been ascertained by actual coun heretofore, to be a correct basis for computation,) as the average number in each family, and at the same rate of increase as the city is rapidly 'de- veloping, Des Moines will have a population of at least 45,000 before the year 1886 shall have closed.


Thanks to all who have in any way encouraged the enterprise, espec- ially those who have so liberally supported us with their subscriptions and advertisments, to whom we return our best wishes and feel satisfied : that the benefits which will accrue to cach will repay them many times by an increase in trade.
