1The Newton Directory
2MASSACHUSETTS
31936
4Containing
6Alphabetical Section (Page 145) Gives names, occupations and addresses of men and women, eighteen years old or over, and all business houses. The names of partners in firms are also given in this department. Wives' names are listed immediately after those of the husbands', enclosed in parentheses. Dates of deaths during the previous year are given, and, where possible, the addresses of people who have moved to other cities. Much other information is given that cannot be found elsewhere.
8Business Directory (Page 805) All business houses, individuals in business for themselves, and professional men are listed without charge under the heading that best describes them. The more progressive houses, realizing that it pays to be easily found, pay a nominal charge for special listings in heavy type, under every heading where a buyer might look for them, cross-indexed to a descriptive space in the "reference section."
10Street, House and Home Owners Directory (Pink Section) (Page 601) A Complete list of Streets, showing location of intersecting streets, and enabling one to tell at once between what streets a given number lies, and the quickest way to get there. All Residents and Places of Business are arranged in numerical order upon their respective Streets.
11With this edition we return to the unified arrangement of this section preferred by a majority of users, instead of the sectional form used in the last issue.
13A Valuable Feature:
14Homes Owned by Occupants Indicated by Symbol ©
15(Note: this information is as given to our canvassers, and is not guaranteed by us. It should be of value as an indication, but not taken as legal proof of title.)
17Advertising Department (Page 49) Where more information than is possible to give under the headings is placed on file for buyer's and seller's reference. It is an index to the leading business interests of the city, and a logical place to look for specific information.
19Maps Sectional Maps covering the different parts of the City, preceded by a Key Map, will be found inside the Back Cover. A large Map covering the whole City on one sheet is on sale at bookstores and stationers, or may be ordered from the Publishers for twenty-five cents. The convenient sectional form is used in the Directory because of the difficulty of handling and refolding a large sheet.
21Miscellaneous Information (Page 12) Organization of City Departments, giving officers—Post Office branches—Parcel Post zones and rates—Courts—Population tables—Calendar etc.
