THE 
^OMMERCIAL £) I RECTORY 
OF 
^American Republics 
This Bureau will soon publish a comprehensive 
and reliable Commercial Directory of the American 
Republics. The volume will be the most complete 
and accurate ever issued in any of the countries that 
will be represented in it, namely/Argentine Republic, 
Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, 
Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Para¬ 
guay, Peru, Salvador, Santo Domingo, United States 
(including Alaska and Hawaii), Uruguay, Venezuela, 
and the West Indies. The expense of such a publica¬ 
tion is so great that a charge of five dollars will be made 
for a copy of the Directory, which will comprise two 
splendid octavo volumes of more than 800 pages each. 
The Directory will contain upwards of 60,000 names, 
and include the addresses and lines of business of 
nearly all the commercial concerns of Latin America. 
The first volume will be ready for distribution on or 
about October 1st, the magnitude and increasing 
interest in the work requiring its publication in two 
volumes, and the second on or before December 1, 1897. 
Manufacturers, bankers, shippers, merchants, and edu¬ 
cators, lecturers, editors, and other professional men, 
for whom the work must possess peculiar interest, and 
all others desiring to subscribe for the Commercial 
Directory, will be furnished with the proper blanks by 
addressing the 
Director of the Bureau of American Republics, 
WASHINGTON, D. C.
