Excerpt from "The Old Corner Bookstore": English, French and American Stationery

This little pamphlet is offered to the public in the hope that it may, in a measure at least, fill a place that has heretofore been unoccupied, - that of a brief local guide. The intention has been to condense into as few pages as possible such information as is needed by the tourist or stranger in taking a stroll about the city.

It has seemed to the compilers that such a book would be acceptable, and this has accordingly been prepared. It may be that this book will also be welcome in Salem households as one by which visiting friends can be readily guided to the places of interest about the city, and a few prominent facts regarding them be recalled. If this little pathfinder in any degree fills these wants, the writers will be quite satisfied.

A reference to the pages devoted to advertising will show that the business men of Salem have lent liberal support in its publication, and that portion of the book should not be regarded as less interesting and valuable than its other pages. This section contains the cards of some of the most energetic and reliable business people of the city. A few pages are also devoted to out-of-town advertisements, representing substantial and well-known business firms.
