There is a necessary fixed cost in production of a Directory. The City does not pay for it - the subscribers do.
If there were only ONE sponsor he would necessarily bear the whole cost.
If there were 1,000 sponsors each would bear 1/1,000 of the cost.
MORAL: To keep directory costs DOWN and directory service UP, do your share. Don't be a Borrower - Be Fair.
Merchants referred to as "Borrowers" of the Directory unthinkingly injure themselves in the public estimation. Someone else has to pay for it for them.

PREFACE
The Fiftieth volume of the City Directory covers the towns of Manchester and Essex in addition to Beverly. Names in the towns in the Beverly district are enumerated with the same system and care as the city and are taken in alternate years. The general directory of Beverly contains 56% new or changed matter of which 2,112 consists of new names this year. In the street directory of Beverly and the towns a special indicator (O) marks property owners - a modern feature, established in 1933, also the locations of telephones are shown by an asterisk (*).
Maps of Beverly, Manchester and Essex are included with this volume.
The publishers acknowledge their indebtedness to all who have supplied information and to the advertisers whose patronage assures the city of its annual directory service.
