Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Advertising Directory: For Manufacturers and Dealers in American Goods, for the Year 1831 The American Advertising Directory, is offered to the public as the result of strenuous efforts to render it worthy of the patronage it has received. In the prosecution of our undertaking, a wide extent of country has been traversed, though we have been restricted to some extent, by the severity of the past winter, as well as by the very general wish that the work should appear as early as possible. This difficulty will be obviated another year, by the arrangements which are made for an earlier commencement of the labors attendant on collecting the materials of the work. We have been gratified to find that the plan has met with the warm approbation of those for whose use it is designed and if the execution of this first volume should equal their expectations, it may be hoped that their continued and increasing support will insure a more complete fulfilment of our intentions in the next. In the first Directory, the names, business, and address are given under an alphabetical arrangement of the Cities, Towns, and Villages, in which the several manufacturing or mercantile establishments are located. It has been deemed important to the work, as a book of reference, to give, as far as possible, the distance and direction of these towns and villages, from the important cities or towns nearest to them. A Classified Directory, not at first contemplated, has been added, in which, under the various articles of manufacture, as headings, the names, firms, or companies of the first Directory are repeated in alphabetical order, and reference is made to the page of the first Directory where the address is given at length. The advantages of this arrangement must be apparent to all, and it has been added to the work in; compliance with the wishes of many manufacturers.
