R.G. Dun & Co., NY, 7 pages
Background
The Mercantile Agency Reference Book was published as a reference work for banks and financial institutions. It was originally published for use by private institutions, not mass produced for the general public, therefore relatively few were published of each edition. Also, it was published each year, so many of the institutions simply discarded the older editions when the newer ones were published. Those factors make this publication is a very rare resource to find today. What makes this edition especially useful today is that is was published shortly before Federal Census of 1890. This Census was damaged by fire in 1921 and the damaged originals were authorized to be destroyed by 1935. Less than 1% of the Census remains to this day, leaving a void for genealogists and historians. Although this publication does not contain the same information as the Federal Census of 1890, the information contained within is useful for research.
Contents
This listing is for the section on Georgia and includes all of its major cities all the way down to its small villages in the countryside. The information is arranged alphabetically by town, and includes the name of the establishment or business owner, the type of business, the estimated wealth of the business and its general credit rating. A map of the state is also included. Since this was originally published for private institutions there are no ads for local businesses included, as is often the case with directories of this era, just the directory information.
