The advertising pages at the end Of the Di-
rectory, are occupied with announcement that
are important TO newspaper men, printers and
publishers only. The preparation Of the Di-
rectory bears evidence OF extensive and careful
labor on the part of the compiler, and the re-
suit is a book which is indispensable TO news
paper publishers and TO that large class Of
business men who advertise in newspapers.
Any reader who would know the extent and
rapidity Of the growth and development Of the
newspaper enterprise Of America, or, indeed
Of the world, viii consult ~Pettengill's News
paper Directory.
The advice and knowledge impaired 10 adj
v%ertisers in the opening pages of the Direc-
tory, reflect credit upon the auspices under
which it is sent forth. There is frsnkness and
earnestness in these ~admonitions, which will
not be lost upon those b are wise enough 10
avail themselves Of them.
