To The Citizens Of Washtenaw County

We take pleasure in introducing to your notice the representatives of the firra of "American Atlas Co.," map and atlas publishers, who are here for the purpose of compiling a complete and reliable farm, village and city plat book of Washtenaw county. This firm is the largest and most extensive publisher ot county works in the United States. They have made many similar works of the largest counties in the northern States, where their publications have received high commendations and press notices; and they guarantee complete and accurate work of this county if they receive sufficient support to warrant them in compiling it. We have examined the plots already completed and realize the benefits our county will derive from such a work. We would respectfully request the citizens of each township to give the gentlemen engaged in correcting the surveys all possible information in order that the work may be strictly reliable. It is now about twenty-one years since the last atlas of the county was made and at that early day it was impossible for the old atlas to properly represent our county. And a new, modern and first-class work of this nature is badly needed. We earnestly hope that our fellow citizens will realize the value of the work and give the enterprise that substantial aid necessary to insure its publication. Hoping you will give the undertaking your liberal support we are respectfully yours: Washtenaw Abstraer. Co.; F. H. Belser, cashier Farmers' & Mechanics' bank; Noah W. Cheever, attorney at law; Wm. Dansingburg, county clerk; Carlile P. McKinstry, register of deeds; P. J. Lehman, deputy county treasurer; L. Gruner, boot and shoe dealer; M. Staebler, proprietor American house; Chas. H. Kline, attorney at law; Eberbach Hardware Co.
