The latter is our way in all wr ork we do. Ladies costumes and evening dresses are cleaned by modern methods. Cleaning fine laces, such as Duchesse, Old Point, Guipure and Brussels, is one of our perfected specialties. By cleaning and dyeing lace curtains, drapes and furni ture coverings we save the housekeeper much trouble and worry. The proper and hygienic way to clean blankets is known to us.

CITY DAIRY CO., Lmited TORONTO PREFACE TjTHE Seventh edition of the BLUE BOOK possesses some features which we trust will entitle it to retain the high place in public favor that has been accorded its predecessors. We desire especially to thank our lady patrons for their cordial appreciation of our efforts. Neither time nor money has been spared to make this work as complete and valuable as possible. The difficulty attending the compiling of such a book can be easily appreciated; and we therefore trust that any omissions will be brought to our notice, that they may be corrected in future. We hope to make the BLUE BOOK as nearly perfect as it is possible to make such a volume. We do not claim the BLUE BOOK is either a City Directory or absolutely an Elite Directory; neither do we pretend to pass upon the social or financial standing of the parties whose names are contained therein. It is simply a compilation of about four thousand names of the most prominent householders of Toronto, Hamilton and London, and numerous smaller towns, published in the most convenient form for reference by our lady patrons. The title "BLUE BOOK" is given the work because of its blue cover. It does not refer to blue blood, as many people sup pose. Webster s definition of Blue Book is as follows: "Blue Book a book containing a list of fashionable addresses." The data for this work have not been compiled from circulars or from other directories. Experienced men, particularly adapted for such work, have been assigned to each locality, and the greatest care has been used in selecting these names. Please send any information you may have that will aid in keeping the records correct to Dau Publishing Co, 22 Toronto Street, Toronto, Ont.
