INTRODUCTION
R. L. POLK & CO., publishers of more than 750 city, county, state and national Directories, present to subscribers and the general public, this, the 1935 edition of the Indianapolis City Directory, which also includes Beech Grove, Broad Ripple, Speedway City, University Heights and Wood- ruff 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 maintained 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 organiza- tion, and having had the courteous and hearty cooperation of the business and professional men and residents, the publishers feel that the result of their labors will meet with the approval of every user, and that the Indian- apolis Directory will fulfill its mission as a source of authentic information pertaining to the community.
Six Major Departments
The six major departments are arranged in the following order :-
THE MISCELLANEOUS DEPARTMENT, pages 14 to 42, presents lists of city, township, county, state and federal officials; post office, public school and court Directories; statistical review; and manufacturing, trade and civic surveys.
THE BUYERS' GUIDE, pages 101 to 208, printed on tinted paper, con- tains the advertisements of leading manufacturing, business and profes- sional interests of Indianapolis and vicinity. The advertisements are in- dexed under headings descriptive of the business represented. This is reference advertising at its best, and merits a survey by all buyers eager to familiarize themselves with sources of supply. In a great commercial and industrial center like Indianapolis, the necessity of having this kind of in- formation immediately available, is obvious. General appreciation of this fact is evidenced by the many reference users of this City Directory service.
THE ALPHABETICAL LIST OF NAMES of residents and business and professional concerns is included in pages 209 to 1286. This is the only record in existence that aims to show the name, marital status, occupation and address of each adult resident of Indianapolis and vicinity, and the name, official personnel, nature and address of each firm and corporation in the community.
THE GUIDE TO STREET CAR, BUS AND TRACKLESS TROLLEY LINES, extends from page 1289 to page 1291.
THE DIRECTORY OF HOUSEHOLDERS, INCLUDING STREET AND AVENUE GUIDE, covers pages 1293 to 1716. In this section the names of the streets are arranged in alphabetical order; the numbers of the residences and business concerns are arranged in numerical order under the name of each street, and the names of the householders and concerns are placed opposite the numbers. The names of the intersecting streets appear at their respective crossing points on each street. A feature of this section is the designation of tenant-owned homes.
THE CLASSIFIED BUSINESS DIRECTORY is included in pages 1717 to 1849. This department lists the names of all business and professional con- cerns in alphabetical order under appropriate headings. This feature con- stitutes an invaluable and indispensable catalog of the numerous interests of the community. The Directory is the common intermediary between buyer and seller. As such it plays an important part in the daily activities of the commercial and professional world. More buyers and sellers meet through the Classified Business Directory than through any other medium.
Community Publicity
The Directory reflects the achievements and ambitions of the com- munity, depicting in unbiased terms what it has to offer as a place of resi-

dence, as a business location, as a manufacturing site and as an educa- tional center. To broadcast this information, the publishers have placed copies of this issue of the Directory in Directory Libraries, where they are readily available for free public reference, and serve as perpetual and re- liable advertisements of Indianapolis and vicinity.
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 322 Board of Trade Bldg., for free reference by the general public. This is one of nearly 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.

INDIANA STATE SOLDIERS' AND SAILORS' MONUMENT
Universally admitted to be the grandest achievement of architectural and sculptural art in the world, designed to glorify the heroic epoch of the Republic and to commemorate the valour and fortitude of Indiana's soldiers and sailors in the War of the Rebellion and other wars.
Begun, 1887 ; completed, 1901 ; dedicated, 1902; cost, $600,000 ; diameter of plaza surrounding monuments, 342 feet 7 inches; diameter of terrace, 110 feet : height of terrace, 16 feet 4 inches ; monument foundation, 69x53 feet ; depth of foundation, 30 feet: height of monument, including foundation, 314 feet 6 inches ; height of monument from street level to top of statue, 284 feet 6 inches; height of Victory statue, 38 feet ; shaft at top, 13 feet 3 inches ; balcony. 16 feet.
The balcony, 22812 feet above the ground, is reached by an electric elevator or by stairway consisting of 32 flights-324 steps. On reaching the balcony, visitors look over a beautiful panorama of Indianapolis and vicinity-a delightful view, not surpassed anywhere. Below the balcony is a bronze astragal bearing the dates 1861-1865 on the four sides of the shaft. Midway the monument is a second bronze astragal, em- blematic of the Navy, and further down, a third bronze astragal, representing the Army. On the east and west sides of the monument are the two largest groups that have ever been carved out of stone-the one on the east representing War, the other, Peace. On the south front are two heroic statues, each cut out of a huge block of stone ; one representing the Infantry, the other an ideal Cavalry Scout. On the north front are the Artillery and Navy representatives, same as on the south. On the east and west sides of the terrace are magnificent cascades, over each of which flow 7,000 gallons of water per minute. With eight immense candelabra, carrying 48 arc and 150 incandescent lamps, Monument Place is the most brilliantly and beauti- fully lighted spot in this country. On subordinate pedestals occupying positions in the four segments are bronze statues of Gov. Morton, Gov. Whitcomb, Gen. Wm. Henry Harrison and Gen. George Rogers Clark.
Above the entrance facing the south is the inscription of dedication :
"To Indiana's Silent Victors"

INDIANAPOLIS
"THE CENTER OF INDUSTRIAL AMERICA" CAPITAL OF INDIANA; COUNTY SEAT OF MARION COUNTY
SOME OF THE THINGS THAT SERVE TO VISUALIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS MODERN AND PROGRESSIVE CITY IN ITS COMMERCIAL, FINANCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL ASPECTS
THE LOGICAL LOCATION FOR BUSINESS INSTITUTIONS HAVING NATIONAL DISTRIBUTION
Prepared by Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce
When Indiana was admitted to the Union in 1816 it became the nineteenth state. Congress adopted a resolution donating four sections of land to the State for its cap- ital. The present downtown square mile, chosen in 1821 as the site for the location of the state capital, after considerable discussion, was named Indianapolis. On this one mile square, at almost the geographical center of Indiana, the city was laid out by the same engineer who designed the street plan of Washington, D. C. Not only is Indianapolis near the exact center of the state of Indiana, but it is likewise near the center of the great Middle West, called the most typically American section of the nation.
