PREFACE
In presenting this our first Directory for
Sittingbourne, Milton and the large industrial district of which these Towns
are the centre, we wish to thank all those who have kindly assisted us in its
compilation by curiously supplying the necessary information that goes to make
a work of reference of this description. The book is somewhat larger than it
was first intended to be, and during the final preparations for publication
changes of residence taken place here and there; these are few, and however we
hope will not appreciably lessen the value of the Directory for commercial and
general purposes. A book of this magnitude cannot, of course, be published at
the small charge of six pence, unless supported by Advertisers. We therefore
hope that in future editions of this work it will receive that support which we
can say, with confidence, it deserves.
