We again make our bow to the Club Ladies of Chicago and Illinois, and take great pleasure in presenting the fifth annual edition of the Official Directory of the Women's Clubs of Chicago; hop- ing same may be received as cordially as have our previous editions.
The late appearance of this issue has been owing to the tardiness of the new officers of the different clubs in furnishing us with the necessary data.
Great pains have been taken to make this volume complete in every respect, and we take pride in saying that as a specimen of the printer's and binder's art it is not excelled in this particular line.
515.00-1-0.597-5-17-73
We thank the business and professional public of Chicago for their liberal patronage and would ask Club ladies and others who use this volume to do business with those whose advertisements appear herein; promising that they will receive the very best attention and reasonable rates if this book is mentioned when making purchases. It has been our aim to solicit advertisements from only strictly reliable and responsi- ble parties and such as we can recommend to Club ladies.
Very respectfully,
Allen County Public Library 900 Webster Street PO Box 2270 Fort Wayne, IN 46801-2270
