- City Directory: List of names interspersed with business names; names usually have professions (e.g., Hecker, Atlanta E teacher St. Louis Industrial School r 3415 Osage; widows may be listed as "Adam Helen wid Anton M r 3942 Florissant av" - the "r" indicates a residential, rather than a business, address)
- "Bank Department"- names , officers, directors, and statements of the banks, trust companies, and safe deposit companies in St. Louis for the year
- Gould's Business Directory (listed by category of business, much like a modern Yellow Pages directory, but without phone numbers)
Here you can look people up by surname, and get their business and home address.
