PREFACE.
The CAMBRIDGE DIRECTORY for 1896, the 45th in the series, has been compiled with all the care that experience could sug- gest and ample facilities supply. It has been our aim to provide a directory creditable to the University City, and as thoroughly useful and trustworthy as could be desired. The business men of Cambridge realize the value of our pages for advertising purposes, knowing that no such permanency can be secured in ephemeral publications as is offered in a volume of such wide and general consultation as a city directory. Every live busi- ness man has need of the directory, and strangers gain a deal of information from a well compiled volume of this kind. A well ordered, well printed and complete directory reflects credit upon the city it represents, and that is what the publishers mean to furnish. The business and general public can help us to fulfill this purpose and benefit themselves by a generous patronage.
The revised census of Massachusetts for 1895 will be found at the end of the book, from which it will be seen that the city has a population of 81,643, an increase of 11,615 in five years, affording a substantial proof of the progressive character of the city. Good government, the best of schools and a variety of industrial activities, combine to make Cambridge attractive to home seekers.
With thanks to our patrons, and assurances that the CAM- BRIDGE DIRECTORY will be kept up to the demands of the times, we remain
Respectfully,
W. A. GREENOUGH & CO.
Compilers, Printers and Publishers.
