CAUTION
Pay no money in advance to itinerant Directory Can- vassers. We are led to men- tion this from the fact that certain parties have been fraudulently using our pub- lications 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 sub- scriptions.
