1VOLUME XX.
3In the compilation of this volume we have endeavored to surpass all previous efforts, and the result may be accepted by the public as a personal and business guide. We could not of course hope to make it perfect, but if we have succeeded in avoiding such errors as would result from negligence, and have incorporated only those that may be properly termed unavoidable, we are confident the work will meet with approval.
5There is no surer indication of the growth and enterprise of a city than is presented by the changes found in a Directory of its inhabitants, and the increase over last year shows a steady and healthy growth.
7We give as our opinion, based on the number of names in the Directory, that the city of Akron, including suburbs (which are included in this work and which should be annexed to the city) contains over 45,000 people.
9We wish to thank all who have aided us in our work of issuing this volume, all who have had patience to receive the "Directory man" courteously and give correct information, the press of the city, and others, for kindly co-operation, and particularly those whose liberal patronage has made a good Directory of the city a possibility.
11Respectfully,
