LESTER AND SONS wish to thank the merchants for the cooperation and financial support in publishing this Directory for the Port Huron, Marysville, and Blue Water District. Several changes have been made in the construc• tion of the Directory. The street guides placed in the back of the Directory gives the classified busi• ness section a more prominent and valuable space. This also conforms to the rule used by other pub• lishers in America. For the first time the Mc's are compiled in the M's and the St's likewise in the S's, which we feel will be an improvement over the style formerly used.
