The Indianapolis Blue Book Of Selected Names Of Indianapolis And Suburban Towns 1910

Excerpt from The Indianapolis Blue Book of Selected Names of Indianapolis and Suburban Towns, 1910: Containing the Names and Addresses of Prominent Residents, Arranged Alphabetically and Numerically by Streets, Also Ladies' Maiden Names, Receiving Days, and Other Valuable Social Information 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 Indianapolis 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 two thousand names of the most prominent householders of Indianapolis and suburbs, 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 suppose, 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.
