HAPPY DIRECTORY THOUGHT.

THAT was a happy thought that prompted the East
ern Directory Company publishers OF the Will
mngton City Directory. and the Wilmington Chamber
Of Commerce to maintain national directory file in
the offices of the chamber in the Ford Building II is
worthy of note that all the principal cities in the
United States will be represented in this directory

and others wish to consult the directories Of other
cities to obtain names addresses and other needed
and useful information. 1t will be seen, therefore
that the file that has been established and that will
be enlarged from time to time will exceed
ingly useful purpose.

at the present time the two most interesting ques-

unless adequate aid reaches the Servians they must
