Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Massey-Gilbert Blue Book of Mexico: A Directory in English of the City of Mexico The Blue Book of Mexico, in its completed form, has four parts. Of these tthe first two, in addition to the customary incidental directory information, contain social and club features particularly of value to the Anglo-American colony of Mexico City, but of general interest as well to Americans and Englishmen at home, on whose account the matter is made somewhat extended and explanatory. English-Speaking Residents. The third part is the directory of English-speaking residents of the Federal District. The unusual demand for the Blue Book, and the sustained friendly interest it has excited in Mexico, render unnecessary further explanation of this feature. All the colony knows of the house-to-house canvass which secured these names, and of their verification by means of 5, 000 return postal cards. For the ready response to these cards, for the heavy advance subscription, and for the continued cordial comment of the press and the people, the publishers are warmly grateful. They endeavor to show their gratitude in the presentation of a book which shall exceed every promise. The Classified Directory. The classified business directory of all Mexico City business firms, which composes the fourth part, is the most important part of all. Its double index makes it serviceable equally to English-and Spanish-speaking residents of the Capital and the Republic, while its distinctly American method of classification will prove readily comprehensible to business men in the United States and England. This classified list was carefully compiled, under the direction of the representative of a prominent mercantile agency, from the official list of firms furnished by the Mexican Treasury Department, and was verified by return postal cards sent, with their particular classification, to each firm. The response to these cards was general, and practically every business man in the city is an advance subscriber.
