Excerpt from Arizona Business Directory and Gazetteer: Containing the Names and Post-Office Addresses of All Merchants, Manufactures and Professional Men in the Territory of Arizona The compiler presents this work to the public with a feeling of confidence that a perusal Of its pages will convince his patrons, and others interested in its contents, that no efforts have been spared to make it complete and reliable. In an entirely new field, such as is embraced in this volume, there are difii culties to contend with, not encountered in older portions of' the Union. Among others, the want of reliable sources from which to obtain information needed, particularly in isolated and sparsely-settled sections, and also the indifference manifested by some to furnish information applied for; which, in view of the great benefit works of this character are to new countries, by making known to the world their resources, and thereby accelerating immi gration, ought to be given with alacrity. With proper efforts, however, these obstacles can, to a certain extent, be overcome and the compiler believes that he has so far succeeded as to be able to present a work which, for completeness and accuracy, will compare favorably with those of a similar character pub lished in other sections of the Union.
