In some portions of the country the Directory Publishers facilitate obtaining orders for publications of summons by searching all State and City Directories for defend- ants and furnishing affidavits. We have a complete and up-to-date Library of City Directories, comprising the latest issues obtainable, and shall be glad to confer with any attorneys who might desire to make use of our services in this connection.

-CAUTION=
Pay no money in advance to itinerant Directory Canvassers. We are led to mention this from the fact that certain parties have been fraudulently using our publications as specimens, and by that means collecting money in advance. Before signing an order, see that it has the name of R. L. Polk & Co. printed thereon. We ask no payment until the work is delivered, and our solicitors have strict orders not to take payment for either advertising or subscriptions.
