C1rY DIRECTORY.

u
The undersigned propose to publish Di-
rectory for Westminster, if sufficient encour.
agement of the enterprise is received.
The Directory will be bound with stiff backs,
and will contain thirty or more pages. 1t is
proposed, in addition to giving alphabet
cal list of heads of families, streets on which
tbey live and number of their residences, to-
getLer with list of business houses, street and
number. to include descriptive article of
Westminster, its location, advantages, bust
ness interests, improvements, banks, churches,
secret societies, and such other matter as
NAV be deemed of interest or important
Ii is thus proposed to combine IN one an
advertisement of the city and a directory.
Every business man should not only subscribe
to the book, and secure extra copies Tor mail
ing to persons outside of Westminster, as an
advertisement of the place, but should encour-
age the enterprise further by inserting an
advertisement in it. The advertisements will
be of permanent value, as the Directory will
be kept in all public places of the city, and to-
those at distance it will furnish an index OF
the business done here and the different
branches pursued. IN
The expense of the undertaking will be
considerable, and upon the encouragement
received will depend whether or not 1t will be
published. An agent will wait upon the citi;
lens generally in a few days. 1t is proposed
to have the Directory out IN abouttwo or three
weeks. VANDERFORD BROS,

hacked. A part of the mans heart was
