COLUMBIA CRY D1REcroRY FOB 1875.
We are informed by the publishers,
Messrs. Beasley & Emerson, that
they are now canvassing the city for q
city directory. Columbia needs q good
directory very much, and from the
character and we'll known ability of the
gentlemen now engaged in the work,
We are confident OF having complete
and accurate directory. The baok
will contain State directory, O olassi-
fed list of the names OF ell our cisizsne.
with their business. business locations
and residences, alphabetically or
ranged; classified business directory.
containing all the business Of che city.
arranged under the separate headings.
and an appendix containing useful
information both for the stranger and
citizen. We give below @ few OF the
notices received by the publishers
from the Atlanta papers. where they
have published the directory for the
last two years:
"We fnd on our table a COPY Of
Beaaley's Atlanta Directory for 1875
1t has evidently been carefully com.
piled. and the new system OF its ar
rangement is perfect. Afonths of hard
labor have been necessary to bring IL
to it's high standard. and we heartily
commend it to the business communi-
ty. No hotel, counting-room or place
OF business shopld be without one.
Atlanta Ne,us, Jan. l, 1876"
Among the valuable end priced
New Years gifts to the Constitution, is
Beasley's directory for 1875. Upon a
hasty examination of it, We find it COZ
rect, and great Improvement over the
issue for "a. It is fuller. enlarged and
more desirable every way. It bears
evidence OF the energy. accuracy and
care OF j. W. Bsasley & Co., publish.
ers, and should be in tho library of
every citizen in Atlanta.
Atlanta Constitution. Jan. /, 1875"
The publishers will. doubtless, give
US complete and accurate directory.
which we 80 much need-in fact, this
is the only city in the South. we be.
lieve. which has no directory. All in.
formation asked for, should be oheer-
fully given.
