1Introductory
3The present volume constitutes the 1950 edition of Henderson's Directory of Saskatoon. The work embodies a complete epitome of the civic, commercial social and industrial interests and activities of the municipality. It is a modern Directory in all its parts and includes all the essential features which have proven so satisfactory to our patrons in previous issues; these have been retained and amplified, and improvements have been added as suggested by experience in order to add to the value and usefulness of the Directory thus fully meeting the requirements of patrons; the approbation and continued patronage accorded the work are constant incentives to better service.

24The Directory estimate of population is based on the actual number of individual's names in the Alphabetical section of the Directory, with due allowance for children and for women whose names are not listed. The Saskatoon Directory covers considerable territory beyond, but tributary to the city limits which is canvassed in order that the names of all people employed or who purchase in Saskatoon may be obtained.
26ADVERTISING SASKATOON
27An important function of the Directory is to set forth the characteristics and advantages of the city as a place of residence, as a business location, as an industrial site, and as an educational centre. The Directory acts as a mirror, reflecting all that is noteworthy in the city in the above respects. In order to spread this information regarding the city broadcast over the country, the publishers have placed copies of this issue of the Directory in the directory libraries, where they are readily available for reference use by the public. There they serve as perpetual advertisements, for business men the country over realize that the City Directory represents the community as it really is.
29The publishers take this opportunity of thanking the citizens for valuable assistance rendered in the way of furnishing information concerning themselves, their friends and their business interests for this Directory, and also the public-spirited and progressive business and professional men for support given in the way of patronage.
31Respectfully, The Publishers,
