INTRODUCTION
R. L. POLK & CO., publishers of the Indianapolis City Directory, as well as more than 750 other city, county, state and national directories, present to subscribers and the general public, this, the 1932 edition of the Indianapolis Directory, which also includes Beech Grove, Broad Ripple, Speedway City, University Heights and Woodruff Place.
Confidence in the continued growth of Indianapolis' industry, popula- tion and wealth, and in the advancement of its civic and social activities, will be created as sections of this directory are consulted, for the directory is a mirror truly reflecting Indianapolis 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 rendering the best in directory service. With an unrivaled organization, and having the courteous and hearty cooperation of the business and pro- fessional men and residents, the publishers feel that the result of their labors will meet with the approval of every user, and that the Indianapolis Directory will fulfill its mission as a source of authentic information per- taining to the community.
Six Major Departments
The several essential departments are arranged in the following order :-
THE MISCELLANEOUS DEPARTMENT, pages 15 to 41, presents a va- riety of information, such as lists of city, county, township, state and fed- eral officials; post office and public school directories; statistical review; and manufacturing, trade and civic surveys.
THE BUYERS' GUIDE, pages 101 to 228, printed on tinted paper, con- tains the advertisements of leading manufacturing, business and profes- sional interests of Indianapolis and vicinity. These pages will be found par- ticularly interesting and instructive to substantial purchasing factors. The advertisements have been carefully grouped by departments and are in- dexed under headings descriptive of the business represented. This is ref- erence advertising at its best, and, as such, merits a survey by all buyers eager to familiarize themselves with sources of supply. The community's activities, in many interesting phases, are authentically pictured. In a great commercial and industrial center like Indianapolis, the necessity of having this kind of information immediately available, is very great, and frequently, pressing. General appreciation of this fact is evidenced by the liberal support the city directory enjoys in the many fields which it serves.
THE ALPHABETICAL LIST OF NAMES of residents, business firms and corporations is included in pages 229 to 1328. A feature of this section is the inclusion of the wife's name in parentheses following that of the husband.
THE STREET RAILWAY AND BUS LINES DIRECTORY is contained in pages 1329 to 1331. Correlation of this section with the Directory of Householders determines the street car or bus running nearest to any given house or intersection.
THE DIRECTORY OF HOUSEHOLDERS, INCLUDING STREET AND AVENUE GUIDE, covers pages 1333 to 1768. In this section the names of the streets and avenues are arranged in alphabetical order; the residences and business houses are arranged numerically under the name of each street and avenue, and the names of householders and business concerns are placed opposite the numbers. A feature of this section is the distinction between tenant-owned and rented homes.
THE CLASSIFIED BUSINESS DIRECTORY is included in pages 1769 to 1921. This department lists the various manufacturing, mercantile and professional interests of the whole community in alphabetical order under appropriate headings. This feature constitutes an invaluable and indispens- able epitome of the business interests of the community. "The Directory is the common intermediary between Buyer and Seller." As such it plays

no small part in the daily doings of the business world. "More goods are bought and sold through the Classified Business Directory than through any other medium."
Community Publicity
The directory reflects the achievements and ambitions of the commun- ity, depicting in truthful terms what it has to offer as a place of residence, as a business location, as an industrial site 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 avail- able for free public reference, and serve as perpetual and reliable adver- tisements of Indianapolis and vicinity, for business men, everywhere, realize that the city directory represents a community as it really is.
The Indianapolis Directory Library
Through the courtesy of the publishers of the Indianapolis City Direc- tory, a Directory Library is maintained in their offices at 225 N. New Jer- sey St., for free reference by the general public. This is one of more than 450 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.
The publishers appreciatively acknowledge the recognition by those progressive 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.
