FATERNAL<\/strong><\/p>\n

This Book will do you good.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t read it, but keep it by you, and refer to it frequently.<\/p>\n

This work contains much that you never knew. Our State is rich; you should know it: Look at the records within. There are eighty nine counties in the state, over two hundred mines, and forty Cotton Factories, employing nearly three million dollars of capital.\u00a0 Look at page 181<\/p>\n

All the Counties use the Directory.\u00a0 Hundreds of copies are used in the North and the West.\u00a0 From the Directory they get information in detail.<\/p>\n

See the 197th<\/sup> page \u2013 how we read. Over 2,300 prominent farmers are reported this year.\u00a0 Also, an alphabetical list of Post offices and a thousand other things not given last year.<\/p>\n

The Director is now a fixed necessity. To make this book profitable to you, select carefully such names as seem favorable and direct your letters or circulars to them.\u00a0 Frequent communication brings us nearer together \u2013 enlivens trade life, and increases the socialities of commercial intercourse.<\/p>\n

Our Correspondents and Agents in all the counties will accept our thanks for prompt and valuable services.<\/p>\n

A number of gentlemen in Official positions have kindly given us much useful information<\/p>\n
