Directory Men Out
Canvassing the City

Seventy-two representatives Of the
William Andrew Boyd Directory Com
pany, OF this city, are busy going about
Washington getting the names of the
inhabitants for the 1912 directory. 1t
will be at least three months before
these men complete their work, and the
directory will probably be ready for
sale the first part Of the coming Janu-
AIRY.
The enumerators are experiencing a
great deal of trouble because of the
fact that hundreds of young men and
women never leave their business ad-
sometimes the owners of the rooming
houses only know them by their last
names, and cannot give the enumerators
the initials. This makes the work of
enumerators hard. However, the work
will be completed in about three months.
