Book excerpt: Excerpt from A City and Business Directory of the City of Portland, Indiana Compared with the last directory of Portland, this one shows a large increase in population, and a much greater interest taken in the work by the business men of the city in taking advertising space. The canvass shows the population of Portland as an increase over the 1890 census at near two thousand, which is evidence enough that the City of Portland, while not a boom town, is gradually forging to the front as one of the solidest little cities of the state. We desire to extend our thanks for the liberal encouragement given this work by the citizens of Portland, and assure them that nothing has been slighted by the publishers in making the directory valuable to everybody.
