We desire particularly to thank our patrons for their contin­ ued cordial and substantial support of our efforts. We have striven to make this edition more complete and valuable than the past. The difficulties attending the compiling of such a book can be easily appreciated; and while the Publishers wiU in no way be responsible for any errors that may occur, we trust any inaccuracies or omissions will be brought to our notice, that they may be corrected in future. The BLUE BOOK is not a city directory nor absolutely an elite directory; neither do we profess to pass upon the social or financial standing of the persons whose names are contained therein. In an area such as this book em­ braces it is impossible for everybody to know everybody else. But it is possible for people to know many other people of a similar mode of life, such as characterizes the numerous clubs, both city and suburban, of your local­ ity. For members of these clubs and others, The BLUE BOOK is meant to serve as a social directory, aiming to present such personal information as may be found use­ ful and needful to our subscribers. The title "BLUE BOOK" does not refer to blue blood, as many people suppose. Websters' defines Blue Book as follows: "Blue Book—a book containing a list of fash­ ionable addresses." Will you not forward any information that you be­ lieve will tend to make this directory more accurate to The Blue Books Company, 26 East 13th Street, New York City. THE PUBLISHERS.
