RESPONSIBILITY AND EXPERIENCE
[OF?] THE PUBLISHERS OF THE
NATIONAL CYCLOPAEDIA OF AMERICAN BIOGRAPHY.

As the business of the Publishers heretofore has not brought them into close relationship with the Eastern public, it is proper that a statement of their experience and responsibility should be made.

The House was establised in San Francisco, in 1873. It has had large experience in the Publishing business, being connected with Appleton's American Cyclopaedia for years. In 1886, the Firm transferred its headquarters to New York, and in answer to teh enquiries of the Mercantile Agencies, asked to be given only the rating [accorded?] them in San Francisco. They have asked no credit from anyone, and have steadily refused to allow this rating to be changed.

As the character of this new enterprise, however, makes it proper that the public should be assured of their finacial abilty to carry through such a large undertaking, they have made a verified statement of their responsibility, upon which the Mercantile Agencies have given them a rating on a par with the largest Publishing Houses of the Metropolis, with credit unlimited- THE HIGHEST RATING KNOWN TO THE MERCANTILE WORLD!

A special equir to R. G. Dun & Co. or Bradstreets will substantiate this statement.

JAMES T. WHITE & CO.,
765 Broadway, New York.

January 1, 1891
