Mr. Holofernes is horrified at the omission of his place of residence, regards it as "a perfect outrage," and has no doubt it was done on purpose to annoy him.
Mr. Ignusfatius is slightly insane on the subject of his first name. He objects vehemently to the insertion of anything more than the initials, because there hap- pens to be two or three more persons who are called Isaac besides himself.
Mr. Jacoby objects to advertisements in the Directory, and can't see what they are put in for.
Mr. Kerdusenhouser, contrawise, likes advertisements, and considers them a pleasant and valuable feature of the work.
Mr. Lilliputian, with the lofty tone of a critic, pronounces the work full of blun- ders, and, being requested to designate them, is unable to point out even one.
Mr. Mephistophiles, being of a mirthful disposition, gives the canvasser who calls upon him a direction, which, if followed, would subject us to a libel suit.
Mr. Nondescript, who resides in the city, when called upon at his place of busi- ness, gives an out-of-town residence, under the delusive idea that he will thereby escape jury duty and taxation.
Mr. Obaque desires the canvasser to call again, having no time to attend to him, and the canvasser forgetting to do so, Mr. O. threatens a suit for damages because he is left out.
Mr. Pillicoddy lives in a "place" that has no legalized existence. The name of the street he lives co not being odorous, he wishes to get rid of it without removing,
3
INTRODUCTORY.
and ingeniously calls the street a place, and is indignant because we disregard it and give the proper name. .
Mr. Quintessimal is queer, and thinks it a good joke to impose upon the canvasser by giving the names of two or three fictitious occupants of his house, that he may afterwards be "down " on the publication for committing such a blunder.
Mr. Rogueman adopts a very ingenious dodge to keep out of the Directory. Hav- ing yesterday given his name to the canvasser, he calls to-day to say that he is going out of town, and wishes to have his name omitted. But the next day the canvasser learns from his family that he has no idea of removing.
Mr. Socrates stigmatizes the work a humbug, and would not encourage such a thing by giving his name, etc., for the work.
Mr. Timon lives in a place which is part of a street, but insists on being located in the place. Now, the names of streets, places or squares, are not happily affairs of individual taste or caprice, but of legal enactments, and we only recognize legal designations in giving the residences of citizens.
Mr. Underhand enters our office-a particular personal friend of the publisher- .
and, presuming upon that relation, asks to have his name left out of the Directory to enable him to escape the annoyance of jury duty, etc. Being denied his un- reasonable request, he makes his exit a declared enemy for life.
Mr. Vixon is violent for a different cause. He goes down to Twenty-first street to see a person whom the Directory informed him lived on that street, but finds that he has removed the day before to Stringtown. He stops at our office to "blow" us up for putting him to so much trouble, and to express his utter contempt for people who publish a Directory which only serves to mislead.
Mr. Whinglestopper, who, as a general rule, never buys a Directory, thinks the price altogether too high, and don't hesitate to express publicly his conviction that "'Taint worth more nor two bits."
Mr. Xavius is naturally a very extraordinary sort of person-takes the trouble of writing a sarcastic letter of three pages to say that, in his opinion, it is not the proper way to make a correct Directory purposely to leave out the name of ore of the oldest residents in the city, since his name could easily have been learned by inquiring at his last place of business. This is a case which requires attending to, so we send down to Mr. X. the very canvasser who did inquire for him at his last place of business without being able to learn anything about him, whereupon the sar- castic Mr. X. confesses, without any sarcasm at all upon himself, that nobody is to blame.
Mr. Younglove takes the liberty of calling in person to expostulate on the names of so many old residents, who lived for years in the same houses, being omitted. Mr. Y. is informed that the old residents in question probably came a very old dodge, and gave the canvasser some fictitious names instead of their own. Oh ! ah! indeed! Mr. Y. "shouldn't wonder; " and that reminds him that the joint tenant of his own house did give the canvasser Mr. Y's name but withheld his own, sure enough.
Mr. Zenophon is zealously obliging. He is a member of a firm, the name of which he can't withhold because it is on the sign; but he positively and resolutely refuses to furnish any information whatever as to the names of the individuals which compose it, and defies all creation to compel him to.
These are but a few of the actual annoyances to which the compilers of a Direct- ory are subjected. And here it may not be inappropriate to say, that the delay in the publication of this edition of the Director is in part owing to another work
4
INTRODUCTORY.
being published at the same time, and the consequent inability to expedite its printing as fully as was desirable. But for the future, we can promise that no such delays will occur.
Yet, in the face of all this opposition, the compiler is happy in the conviction that the book approximates as nearly to perfection and completeness as it is possible for any similar work to do. But that this Director is entirely free from errors, we do not claim. With the many difficulties that present themselves, as stated else- where-and that, too, without exaggeration-it would be preposterous to look for absolute perfection. Without any hesitation, however, we claim that our Director is the most complete and reliable ever offered to the public of Indianapolis.
The whole number of names in the book is 13,440, against 7,860 in the Directory for 1864, being an increase of 5,580 names, which, multiplied by the usually accepted average of a family,-4,-gives the increase in the population at 22,320 souls. The number of names in the book,-13,440,-by the same process, shows the population of Indianapolis to be 53,360 souls.
An examination of the advertising pages of the Director will convince the most skeptical of the importance of Indianapolis as a market. Her merchants have shown their enterprise, energy and liberality by advertising their business in the best medium extant,-a Business Directory. Artisans in every branch of mechan- ical art have also availed themselves of the opportunity afforded by this book to call attention to their wares and ask the public to grant them a share of their pat- ronage ; while Railroads and Insurance Companies are numerously represented in the same pages,-the one setting forth the facilities they offer to the traveling and freighting communities in all sections of the country, the other giving the terms upon which life and property are insured, and exhibiting the capital employed to pay all the claims that may be brought against them by owners of property who have suffered losses which are covered by their several policies. We also, in this connection, take pleasure in calling attention to the unique and superior manner in which the advertisements of our Director are displayed, and to the handsome style in which it is bound. Much more might be said of the book and its contents, but the limited space allotted to the Introductory compels a brevity too great for the merits of the work.
In this connection we cannot refrain from tendering our thanks to the good citi- zens generally for the kind manner in which our reporters and canvassers were received in their search after information and advertisements; but, to the Editors of the several newspapers, English and German, and other prominent citizens of Indianapolis, we are under the greatest obligations for the hearty manner in which they have seconded our efforts to give to the world at large a correct and reliable resume of the business and history of their city.
In conclusion, we announce to the business public, and to all others interested in the welfare of Indianapolis, that we design to make our Director one of the per- manent institutions of the city ; and as we purpose giving each year a more desir- able and excellent book, not being obliged to contend against the multiplicity of difficulties thrown in our way this year, we expect to be liberally and heartily sus- tained in our efforts to advance the interests of the Metropolis of Indiana.

THE GREAT PACIFIC RAILWAY,
Now Open to
RIN CE.
THE PACIFIC RAILWA
Is now completed from ST. LOUIS TO KANSAS CITY (283 miles), where it makes connection with the
UNION PACIFIC RAILWAY,
Of which there is finished and running 40 miles to Lawrence, making an all-rail route to that place. At Kansas City it also makes direct connection, both for passengers and freight, with steamboat running daily to and from Leavenworth City.
This is now the direct route to LEAVENWORTH CITY and all points in Central and Southern Kansas, as well as South- ern and Western Missouri, connecting by stage with all the prominent inland places in both States.
At ST. LOUIS, it connects with railways running to the East, North and South, and with Steamers for all points on Upper and Lower Mississippi.
The building of the UNION PACIFIC RAILWAY is pro- gressing rapidly, and that road will soon be open for travel to TOPEKA-thus extending the all rail route to that point.
