SUGGESTIONS TO THE PUBLIC.
COMPLAINTS should be made to the Postmaster, with all facts. In case of delays or improper delivery, the envelopes should accompany complaints. In case of loss, blanks are furnished for full statement.
DO NOT OPEN LETTERS WRONGLY DELIVERED, but en- dorse "Wrongly Delivered," with signature and return.
THIRD OR FOURTH CLASS MATTER will be detained, unless fully prepaid.
ENDORSE EVERY LETTER AND PACKAGE with your ad. dress, that it may be returned in case of non-delivery. Your printed address on government stamped envelopes, when ord- ered, costs no more.
44
C. N. Caspar Co.'s
PACKAGES should be addressed plainly, and wrapped and tied securely, otherwise addresses and wrappers will be lost or torn off in the mails.
SMALL PACKAGES may be accidentally lost or overlooked and delayed in the mails. Special care in mailing such pack- ages would be prudent.
THE SAME OR A LIKE NAME, belonging to many persons, is a common cause of accident in delivery of mail matter, especially in cities. Special care in address alone will prevent possible accident in such case.
LETTER-PAPER AND BILL-HEADS should contain distinct addresses for the guidance of correspondents.
NAME OF STATE should always be written on address in full. Also name of County, especially for small offices. Also correct number and street, on letters for cities.
REGISTER all important letters.
CHANGE OF RESIDENCE OR PLACE OF BUSINESS should be promptly made known to your postoffice in writing. Subscrib- ers to papers should also notify publishers.
HOTELS, CLUBS, or BOARDS OF TRADE should return to postoffice unclaimed mail matter for transient parties within ten days, except when otherwise requested.
HOTEL ADDRESS CARD does not secure return of a letter. Writer's address should be added.
LETTERS, POSTAL CARDS AND PARCELS ONCE PRE-PAID at first-class rates will be forwarded on request of addressees, without extra charge. Postage must be re-paid on otber mat- ter forwarded.
MAIL-BOXES at your business place and residence would prevent delay of carriers.
SIGN FULL NAME to all letters, so that in case of non- delivery letters of value may be returned.
POSTOFFICE EMPLOYEES cannot be held responsible for the delivery of letters, partially or otherwise imperfectly ad- dressed; nor in case several persons bear the same address as contained on a letter. Nor is one office directly responsible for the delinquencies of another, or of the railway service.
LETTERS FOR DELIVERY by carrier should be addressed to correct street and number.
Letters not containing correct street and number are re- ferred to the Directory, or to the General Delivery.
Letters not intended for delivery by carrier, should be addressed to "General Delivery."
Stamps should be placed on the upper right hand corner of envelope; address of writer on upper left hand corner, and special directions on lower left hand corner. Unusually small envelopes or packages are to be avoided when practicable.
U. S. OFFICIAL POSTAL GUIDE can be obtained at Post Office. Prices: January volume, in paper, $2.00; in cloth $2.50. January volume, in paper, and monthly supplement $2.50.
Private mailing cards, now properly designated "Post Card" bearing written messages may be mailed within the United States with one cent stamp attached, or to foreign countries with two cent stamp attached, provided they con- form to the size and quality of the government postal card, to-wit: 314x51/2 inches, weighing 6 lbs. 3 ozs. to the 1,000 and bear on the address side the printed words "Post Card."

Milwaukee County Court House.
THREE DIVISIONS OF THE CITY.
For the better arrangement of the numbers, the city is divided into three divisions, as follows:
1. The East Division .- Includes all that portion of the city east of the Milwaukee River.
2. The West Division .- Includes all that portion of the city west of Milwaukee River and north of Menomonee River, Menomonee Canal and Canal Street.
3. The South Division .- Includes all that portion of the city south of Canal Street and the Menomonee River.
THE EAST DIVISION.
For all streets running north and south, Wisconsin Street is taken for the base line, and 400 for the base number, the numbers increasing northward from Wisconsin Street, and de- creasing southward from that street.
For all streets running east and west in this division, Broadway is taken for the base street, and 100 for the base number, the numbers increasing eastward and decreasing westward.
By this arrangement it will be noticed that the number of any lot of any street will be the same as any number of its corresponding lot on any other street in this division of the city.
THE WEST DIVISION.
For all the streets running north and south in this divi- sion, the same rule is applied as in the East Division. Wells Street being taken for the base street, and 200 for the base number, the numbers north of Wells Street increasing from 200 and the numbers south of Wells decreasing from 200. The only variation from this rule is on West Water Street, where the old numbers have been retained.
For all streets running east and west in this division, what is called the "Philadelphia System" is followed-that is, each square is called 100. For example, West Water or 1st St. is callled 100, 2d St. 200, 3d St. 300, and so on to the city limits.
46
C. N. Caspar Co.'s
THE SOUTH DIVISION.
The manner of numbering is the same as in the East Divi- sion. For all the streets running north and south, Pierce Street is taken for the base street, and 300 for the base number - the numbers increasing south and decreasing north. For all streets running east and west, Reed Street is taken for the base street, and 300 for the base number - the numbers in- creasing west and decreasing east.
MILWAUKEE AND MENOMONEE RIVERS.
Milwaukee River enters the city from the north, running nearly parallel with the lake to the junction of the Menomo- nee River; thence in a southeasterly direction to the straight-cut; thence east to the lake. Menomonee River enters Milwaukee River from the west, between East Water Street and Reed Street bridges.

METHOD OF NUMBERING THE HOUSES.
Milwaukee's handsome parked streets and noble avenues are admired and enjoyed by thousands of transient visitors every summer, the entire residence portion being one shaded, fenceless park.
There are over 1000 streets, everyone of which you will find in the alphabetical Index giving all streets, on the map here- with, specially drawn for this Guide. The streets are laid out very regularly, mostly running parallel to one another, east and west, and north and south. The method of numbering the houses is very simple, the numbers on all streets in each principal division of the city running in the same direction corresponding exactly, so that, for instance, starting eastward on Mason Street, it will be found that the number of the house fronting on one of the side streets and situated on the north west corner of Mason Street is 437, no matter whether it is on East Water Street, Broadway, Milwaukee, Jefferson,, or Astor Street. - Keeping this regularity, and the difference in the series of numbers employed on the East, West and South Sides in mind, the following tables are sufficient for locating at once any house in the city, the number and street of which is known.
