Document:
We have attempted to transcribe this publication exactly as it was written in 1881. Please be aware that some objectionable terms were used at that time.
Once more we come before the Springfield public with our “DIRECTORY AND BUSINESS MIRROR,” hoping it will give general satisfaction to our many friends and patrons. With what assistance we could obtain, we have endeavored to make a thorough canvas throughout the city and suburbs – not missing a house to our knowledge – although some few names may have been overlooked or found incorrectly spelled, which, with the best of help, cannot be avoided.
In about two months we have accomplished the task of canvassing, compiling and printing our work, being only 15 days in the printers and binders hands.
We find a wonderful increase in the city’s population and improvement, and from present appearances the near future will show substantial gains, both as to population, wealth and prosperity.
It does not require a microscope for one to perceive that we have nearly double the names of any previous directory, occupying 203 pages of closely printed matter, numbering about 8,000 names, which, if multiplied by the usual number – 31/2 – will give us a population of about 28,000 inhabitants.
In conclusion, we wish to call attention to the general appearance of our work – its beautiful binding; its artistic and workmanlike typography; its clear and elegant press-work; and, also, the tinted, heavy and substantial paper upon which is impressed the names of over 8,000 citizens of the “CAPITAL CITY” of Illinois.
To our many patrons we return our most sincere thanks for their very liberal patronage.
