Record details

Sixteen leaves: the six-leaf classified "Musical Instruments" block (n755, n851–n854, n866) and ten alphabetical-section leaves (n88, n135, n209, n340, n394, n404, n410, n486, n525, n565). All are machine-transcribed; no page image has been read by a person and no printed folio has been confirmed against a leaf. Place of publication is left empty because archive.org records none for the item and the title page has not been read; archive.org catalogues the publisher as "Sampson & Murdock Co", while the fetcher's note and the held 1895–1901 volumes give "Sampson, Murdock & Co." Rights, verbatim from the fetch record: status "public domain", basis "1916 United States publication." The directory was issued in two volumes; archive.org labels this item volume 2.

Everyone this source names

This document prints 14 names. A name found this way is the weakest thing this site records: the book names the person, and nothing more is said. It is not a line in a record — the lines that actually rest on this source are listed above, each with its own confidence. 13 of the names below reach a record on this site; lines from this source have been written for 0. The rest are names and nothing else — which is an honest description of the evidence, and an invitation: if you know one of these makers, we want to hear from you.
