INTRODUCTORY.
In presenting this the twenty-fourth volume of the Indianapolis City Directory to the public, we beg to return thanks to our friends for their patronage. We have taken the greatest possible care in preparing this volume and we believe it will be found more correct than any heretofore published. To our patrons we would say we have established a library of Directories of all the principal cities in the United States, which we take pleasure in placing at their disposal for reference, without charge. This year we feel doubly grateful to a public who have materially expressed their appreciation of our efforts under such adverse circum- stances as the present general depression of the business interests of the city.
