Excerpt from Wabash City Directory for 1904: Containing a Complete List of Citizens Over 16, a Classified Business Directory, a Map of the City, a List of the Rural Route Patrons, a Gazetteer of Wabash County, and a Miscellaneous Directory of the Local Institutions In presenting our Directory to the public, we desire to state that the information it contains has been collected by a careful and thorough canvass of the city. Extreme care and patience have been used to make the book complete and reliable, and we feel confident that the public which has been so courteous in granting its assistance will be not less appreciative in its reception of our work. Attention is invited to the fact that our age limit, sixteen years, is the lowest used by any Directory firm. Boys and girls often go out to work at this age, and it cannot fail to add to the value of the book if they are listed. Another distinctive feature of our work is the indication of the total size of families by a numeral following the family group. The extra trouble and expense of this information is justified by its great convenience to users of the Directory. In this connection, a word of acknowledgement is due to those whose liberal patronage have made the book possible. We are indebted, also, to the local press, Whose courtesies have been freely extended and valuable in many ways. There is an obligation resting too on the people at large. The principal expense of a new Directory is borne by the business men who advertise, and considering the public spirit they have shown in supporting this enterprise, we would respectfully suggest that it is up to the public to read the advertisements!
