Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Indianapolis Blue Book: 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 The Eighth edition of The Blue Book possesses some features which we trust will entitle it to retain the high place in public favor that has been accorded its predecessors. We desire especially to thank our lady patrons for their cordial appreciation of our efforts. 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 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 2,500 names of the more prominent householders and residents published in the most convenient form for reference by our lady patrons. The title "The Blue Book" is given the work because of its blue cover. It does not refer to blue blood, as many people suppose. Websters definition of Blue Book is as follows: "Blue Book - a book containing a list of fashionable addresses." Please send any information you may have that will aid in keeping the records correct to Dau's Blue Books, Inc., 74 West 50th Street, New York City.
