PREFACE.
We present herewith to the people of CAMBRIDGE the forty-sixth edition of the city directory, it covering the present year, 1897. The work for years has been growing in size and completness, and this year's book, which has been compiled with great care by experienced men, is un- doubted proof of the city's growth and progress. The natural beauty of Cambridge and the many attractions it presents as a residential city, together with its fine business facilities, are inducing many to cast their lot here, which fact is most forcibly manifested in the handsome volume before you. The very large list of business announcements in the Directory of 1897 show most conclusively that the commercial and industrial interests of the city are spread- ing in many directions, thus giving it a reputation as a desirable business place somewhat commensurate with its fame as a fine educational and residential city. Its great university, its almost unsurpassed public school system, and its many elegant residences fully attest the latter, while its growing number of factories and stores, many of large dimensions, prove the former.
The citizens of the city generally have always been lib- eral with their favors in support of this work, and we promise in the future, as we have always given in the past, our best efforts to make the Cambridge Directory worthy of the substantial, progressive and beautiful city it repre- sents.
