The preface of the 1962 Polk's Trenton City Directory describes it as "an Alphabetical Directory of Business Concerns
and Private Citizens, a Directory of Householders, Occupants of Office Buildings and Other Business Places, Including a Complete
Street and Avenue Guide, Postal Zone Guide and much Information of a Miscellaneous Character, also a Buyers' Guide and a Complete
Classified Business Directory Including a Manufacturers' Department." A simpler definition would be an
expanded Yellow Pages.
The book contains five sections. The Buyer's Guide, containing advertisements, is analogous to ads in
the Yellow Pages. The Classified Business Directory, which lists businesses and professional concerns, is like
the Yellow Pages without the ads. The Alphabetical List of Names, which lists residents and business and professional
concerns, is like the White Pages. The Postal Zone Guide lists the one or two-digit postal zones (used prior to ZIP
Codes) throughout the city. The Directory of Householders, lists the names of streets in alphabetical order, then
specifies the occupants in numerical order.
The information in the right-hand column was found in the Alphabetical List of Names. The listing showed that the
person was a tenant at the Stacy-Trent, as indicated by the entry "r51 W State" ("r" designating that the person was
"resides or rooms" at "51 W State" (the address of the Stacy-Trent)).
