This list is far from complete by virtue of the fact that each year
the policy of the directories changed as to the amount recorded in the
alphabetical list of residents in the space allotted to occupation.
Every employee hired by the establishments listed above, therefore, is
not necessarily registered in this manner. Clearly this list shows that
the 1902 directory was by far the most thorough in its listings of
assistants in small concerns — that is, it referred directly to the
firm for which each Dawson resident worked.
