Excerpt from Champaign and Urbana City Directory, 1923: Containing an Alphabetically Arranged List of Business Firms and Private Citizens, a Street Directory, Street and Avenue Guide, Miscellaneous Directory, Numerical Telephone Directory, Rural Route Directory, City and County Officers, Churches, Colleges T is with pleasure that we place before the public the 1923 directory of Champaign and Urbana, compiled for us and set in type, printed and bound complete in our own shop here in Champaign. We trust that it will meet your approval. Not only is the Directory a very necessary and indispensable work for local usage, but it is a valuable means of extending throughout the country information concerning Champaign and Urbana, their advantages, resources and prospects, and it is a matter of more than ordinary importance to every individual that he be properly represented in this standard work of reference. To gather the data and compile a volume of this character is no easy task. It requires much time, a well defined system, and incurs no little expense. Few people have any idea of the work it means and the tenacity it takes to publish a reliable directory. In preparing this book the Publishers have spared neither time nor expense, and if errors occur or a single name is omitted which should appear in the work, it is generally the fault of the public and not of the publishers, as every house is visited and it is not the publisher's or canvasser's fault if some one fails to give all the information or gives it incorrectly. The intention of the publishers is always for improvement, and you can always count on getting as accurate a Directory as circumstances will permit.
