Mississippi City Directories
Polk's* city directories offer four different access
points to business and residential listings. Each
volume contains a buyer's guide with business classifieds, an alphabetical
list of names with telephone number, address, occupation
and marital status,a directory of householders
with a numerical street and avenue guide, and a numerical (reverse)
telephone directory. Also included are general
descriptions and statistical profiles of the area.
*The collection
of city directories held by McCain Library
consists primarily of those published by
R.L. Polk.
