CAUTION
Pay no money in advance to itinerant Directory Canvassers. We are led to mention this from the fact that certain parties have been fraud- ulently using our publications as specimens, and by that means collecting money in advance. Before signing an order, see that it has the name of R. L. POLK & CO. printed thereon. We ask no payment until the work is delivered, and our solicitors have strict orders not to take payment for either advertisements or subscriptions.
