Power of Advertising
THE CITY DIRECTORY is the power that generates information for the buyer that he may know who deals in the product he wishes to purchase. If your business is not classified properly, and a display advertisement arranged to describe your business, how can you expect the buyer to trade with you?
ADVERTISING is the foundation upon which success- ful businesses are built. You must apply this to your own particular business.
ADVERTISING is the power of an idea multiplied.

INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL INDEX
R. L. POLK & CO., publishers of more than 1,000 city, coun- ty, state and national Directories, present to subscribers and the general public, this, the 1962 edition of the Boston City Directory. The Directory also includes Allston, Brighton, Charlestown, Dor- chester, East Boston, Hyde Park, Jamaica Plain, Mattapan, Read- ville, Roslindale, Roxbury, South Boston and West Roxbury.
Confidence in the continued growth of Boston's industry, pop- ulation 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 Boston to the world.
The enviable position occupied by R. L. POLK & CO.'S Di- rectories 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 had the courteous and hearty cooperation of the business and professional men and resi- dents, the publishers feel that the result of their labors will meet with the approval of every user, and that the Boston Directory will fulfill its mission as a source of authentic information pertaining to the city and vicinity.
Three Major Departments
The three major departments are arranged in the following order: -
I. THE BUYERS' GUIDE constitutes the first major depart- ment of the Directory, printed on yellow paper. In the first section of this department, grouped under appropriate headings, are in- cluded the advertisements and business cards of firms and indi- viduals desiring to make a complete presentation of their products or services. Following this is the Classified Business Section, which embraces a list of the names and addresses of all business and professional concerns of the city, arranged in alphabetical order under appropriate headings-a catalog of all the activities of the city. The Buyers' Guide represents reference advertising atits best, and merits the attention of all buyers and sellers seek- ing sources of supply or markets for goods. In a busy and diversi- fied community like Boston, the necessity of having this kind of · information up-to-date and always immediately available, is ob- vious. The Directory is the common intermediary between buyer and seller, and plays an important role in the daily activities of the commercial, industrial and professional world.
II. THE ALPHABETICAL LIST OF NAMES of residents and business and professional concerns, is the second major depart- ment, printed on white paper. This is the only record in existence that aims to show the name, marital status, occupation and ad- dress of each adult resident of Boston and vicinity, and the name, official personnel, nature and address of each firm and corpora -. tion.
III. THE DIRECTORY OF HOUSEHOLDERS, INCLUDING STREET AND AVENUE GUIDE, is the third major department, printed on green paper. In this section the numbered streets are arranged in numerical order, followed by the named streets in al- phabetical order; the numbers of the residences and business con- cerns 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 ap- pear at their respective crossing points on each street. Special features of this section are the designation of tenant-owned homes and the designation of homes and places of business having tele- phones.
Community Publicity
The Directory reflects the achievements and ambitions of the community, depicting in unbiased terms what it has to offer as a place of residence, as a business location, as a port, as a man- ufacturing site and as an educational center. To broadcast this in- formation, 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 reliable ad- vertisements of Boston and vicinity.
The Boston Directory Library
Through the courtesy of the publishers of the Boston City Directory, a Directory Library is maintained in their offices at 600 Washington St., for free reference by the general public. This is one of more than 1,000 Directory Libraries installed and main- tained in cities and towns throughout the U. S., Canada and Puerto Rico 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 dem- onstrated their confidence in the City Directory as an advertising medium, with assurance that it will bring a commensurate return.
