Y. Central Library of Rochester and Monroe County · Miscellaneous Directories PREFACE HE Fourteenth edition of THE BLUE BOOK is presented with the earnest hope that it will warrant the high place accorded its predecessors. We desire especially to thank our patrons for their constant 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 should be appreciated; and while the Publishers will 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 the next edition. The BLUE BOOK is neither a city directory nor abso lutely an elite directory; neither do we pretend to pass upon the social or financial standing of the persons whose names are contained therein. In an area such as this book embraces it is impossible for everybody to know every body else. But it is possible for people to know many other people of a similar mode of life, such as charac terizes the numerous clubs, both city and suburban, of your locality. For members of these clubs and their friends THE BLUE BOOK is meant to serve as a directory, aiming to present such personal information as may be found useful and needful. The title "BLUE BOOK" does not refer to blue blood, as many people suppose. Webster's defines Blue Book as follows: "Blue Book—a book containing a list of fashionable addresses.'' It has been published regularly for over thirty years and should not be confused with any other possibly transitory publication. Will you kindly forward any information that will aid in keeping these records correct to The Blue Books Company, 224th Street, Springfield Gardens, N. Y.
