Notes
- Scope and Content:
- The four major departments are arranged in the following order:-
I. THE BUYERS' GUIDE constitutes the first major department of the Directory, printed on yellow paper. In the first section of this department, grouped under appropriate headings, are included the advertisements and business cards of firms and individuals desiring to make a complete presentation of their products or services. Following this is the Classified Business Section, which embraces a list of the names and addresses of all business and professional concerns of the community, arranged in alphabetical order under appropriate headings-a catalog of all the activities of the community. The Buyers' Guide represents reference advertising at its best, and merits the attention of all buyers and sellers seeking sources of supply or markets for goods. In a busy and diversified community like Miami Beach, the necessity of having this kind of information up-to-date and always immediately available, is obvious. The Directory is the common intermediary between buyer and seller, and plays an important role in the daily activities of the commercial, industrial and professional world.
II. THE ALPHABETICAL LIST OF NAMES of residents, business and professional concerns is the
second major department, printed on white paper. This is the only record in existence that aims to show the name, marital status, occupation, and address of each adult resident of Miami Beach, and the name, official personnel, nature and address of each firm and corporation in the community. A special feature of this section is the listing of telephone numbers.
III. THE DIRECTORY OF HOUSEHOLDERS, INCLUDING STREET AND AVENUE GUIDE is the third
major department, printed on green paper. In this section, the numbered streets are arranged in numerical order, followed by the named streets in alphabetical order; the numbers of the residences and business concerns are arranged in numerical order under the name of each street, and the names of the householders and concerns are placed opposite the numbers. The names of the intersecting streets appear at their respective crossing points on each street. Special features of this section are the designation of owner-occupied homes, the listing of telephone numbers, new householder symbols and Zip Codes. IV. THE NUMERICAL TELEPHONE DIRECTORY is the fourth major department, printed on blue
paper. ( English )
