COMPILER AND PUBLISHER

GRADUATE PIANO TUNING DEPARTMENT MARYLAND
WORK-SHOP FOR THE BLIND

BY THE EDITOR

One would not imagine the work entailed in the compiling a book
of this character, especially for me, as my time is so divided in various
lines of business, in order to satisfy my current demands. I have
tried to establish a method of a real effective medium of advertisement,
and at the same time to collect a Directory of the colored pro-
fessional, clerical, skilled and business people. I aim to uplift men
and to give them credit for what they do. I am certain I have not
reached all of them, but owing to the fact that such an undertaking
is so broad in its scope, that it would entail a great expense and a
number of clerical assistants to make it complete, therefore I ask
that the public will be charitable in their criticisms.

I wish to thank my many friends, both white and colored, for their
kind fa\rors in assisting me in the compiling of this book.

Very respectfully,

ROBT. W. COLEMAN.
