THE WHOLE RESPECTFULJL.y pEDICATED TO THE PRESENT SUPPORT^ES OF THE WORK BT A. B. CHERRIER <@uetec PRINTBD BY DAWSON k 00. 1879 ^^^3^" I (^uelrec §itttUx^ p n A City Directory, as its name indicates, is a work intended to assist the public in threading their way through the intri- cacies of a City life. The business man in his office has only to turn over the leaves of a Directory to fetch before his vigilant notice the various infor- mation needed in his customary pur- suits. The housekeeper, by consulting it, can also find her way to the informa- tion inherent in the wants of domestic life. The stranger, on landing on our shores, can grasp at a glance the land- marks of the country he honours with a visit, and is enabled to embrace, thanks to a well edited Directory, a knowledge of the institutions of the land. To the clergyman it is the vade mecum of his ministry. The physician, also, can speak to the truth of the importance we attach to a Directory, and must readily assert our claim to his gratitude for the indis- putable assistance lent him in his daily calling, by a timely reference to our guide. Such being, in a very imperfect mea- sure, the benefits to be derived from a Directory, is it to be wondered at, that we pronounce the calling of a Directory compiler one of the gravest importance, aiding and perfecting, as it does, all other stations in life V Nay, when we consider the mathematical accuracy which is expected from the compiler in getting up such a book, and the immense responsibility which devolves upon him, must it not quite naturally recur to the mind of the general public, that one devoting his every hour to such a task, has a legitimate claim on the commu- nity at large, to their unqualified support and encouragement for the carrying out and subsequent disposing of a book so useful to all classes of Society ? This being said, the following pages will no doubt be found interesting read- ing to every resident of the City and valuable for reference hereafter. It is now 35 years since the first number of a Quebec Directory under the title of " Hawkins' Quebec Dikectory and Strangers' G-uide to the City and Environs for 1844-45" was issued. Until 1849-50 exclusively, Quebec was supplied with a Directory compiled under the care and supervision of the above gentleman. In 1849-50 Hawkins* publication, for reasons unknown to the pr th to in M( cli Pa present publisher, was superseded by that of one Robert W. S. Mackay, who published a Directory for a few years — how many, we have not as yet been able to ascertain — and was again succeeded in 1854-55 or thereabouts by one S. McLaughlin, who issued till 1858-59 ex- clusively, a " Quebec Directory in Three Parts," the last edition of which was printed by Bureau & Marcotte, 29 Buade street, and sold to subscribers at |1.50 per copy. Such are, to the best of our knowledge, the first attempts made at publishing a Directory and relieving Quebec — as is stated in the preface of Hawkins' first issue — " of the stigma of not possessing a Directory of its own." This idea met w^ith such universal favour that Haw- kins goes on to say, 1000 copies were subscribed for. A patronage by the by far larger than is to-day accorded to our work. In 1858-59 the Quebec Directory for a fourth time changed hands ; and it is now our plaasing duty to record the different phases it has gone through from the moment Gr. H. C rrier, Esq., father of the author of these lines, undertook its publication up to the present time. In the above year the first edition of "Cherrier's Quebec Directory," 6 published by Cherrier& Hameliii, print- ed in Quebec by P. Lamoureux, in Shaw's Building, Mountain Hill, was issued in the month of July. The ar- rangement of the work was, as stated in the Preface, strictly alphabetical', a fea- ture, strange to say, not to be found in Hawkins' Directories. It met with a fa- vorable reception ; and two years having elapsed, in 1860-61 a second edition, — this time solely compiled and pub- lished by (jr. H. Cherrier, — was again welcomed and found a ready circulation. This success induced the proprietor to issue it annually. We may here state, with a feeling of satisfaction, that the above gentleman having been, so to say, the first instigator of a yearly Quebec Directory, for 18 consecutive years, he ably combined with an Alphabeticai* LIST OF Citizens and Classification OF Subscribers, other useful and necessary information concerning G-o- vernment and Municipal Offices, Banks, Educational and Religious Institutions, etc., etc., — in a word, many of the essential features of our present pub- lication! The whole neatly printed and bound by John Lovell, of Montreal, in 1 vol. 1 2mo. of 400 and odd pages, single column. It is only jusi to assert that Quebec is greatly indebted to Mr. Cherrier for such a boon, and we crave pardon as his son, if we venture to say that his activity has become legendary, and his name a household name with Quebecers. As such it was issued till 1871-72, inclusively, when the present publisher taking hold of the work, deemed fit and proper to alter its size to the present one, it being his intent to include, besides the ordinary matter, a Complete Street Di- rectory, which appeared for the first time in 1873-74. Thus dividing the work in 4 parts, naraely,ALPHABETlCAL,STREET, MISCELLANEOUS AND BUSINESS. "With these few words by way of introduction, it appears to be a very appropriate time to review the past and present situation of the Quebec Directory. Since its first issue in 1844-45 a genera- tion has come and gone, and many things we shall make mention of will be new to the present"one. The first issue (Hawkins) was a small book, single column, of 252 pages, 3 X 5J inches, containing 1,417 names, representing a population of only 7,085 inhabitants, with 100 pages of various information. It has steadily grown until it is now a large octavo volume, in double and triple columns, solid matter, of over 300 pages, 5x8 in- ches in size, — a page nearly twice as large — containing 12,000 names, repre- senting a population of over 60,000, with 66 pages of Street Directory, 40 pages of Miscella^ eous, 12 pages of Classified Bu- siness Di 3ctory, and 12 pages of Street Guide. The comparative business growth of Quebec in 35 years — slow but sure — is further evidenced by the 345,116 ems of type (printer's measurement^*^) in the first number, -and 900,224 ems in the number last issued ; showing its growth to have been in 35 years more than 150 percent. The price oi the Directory 35 years ago was $1.50, which was subsequently increased, but not in proportion to the increase of size and importance, for as our 21st edition is more than 150 per cent larger than the first issue, the price this year to be in proportion, should be $3.50 instead of $2.50. There have been years during the past 21, when our aggregate sales and advertising did not sufficiently remunerate us for our labour. We have toiled and struggled in this work, believing that the growth of our City would give us corresponding re- muneration ; but, Directory borrowers have disappointed our expectations. If these constant borrowers, who, by im- * In Brevier type. 9 posing upon the kindness of their neigh- bors, filch information which has been obtained at considerable expense by us, would purchase copies for their own use, the sale would be so increased, that we believe, wc could afford to reduce the price of the work. Thus it is that all such are the direct cause of the increase in the price to subscribers and purchasers. This City Directory, in its earlier days, was issued in September, and subse- quently on or about the 10th of July. Since 1874 the work has been published in Quebec, — though not without incur- ring extra expense — thus advancing the date of issue w^hich occurs on or about the 15th of June, six weeks after the removals, and consequently about one month earlier than formerly. For the last eight years, that the undersigned has been compiler, he has ever striven to excel the efforts of the previous year, — as each number will bear faithful testimony to. We hope to commence giving in next year's Edition, Quebec Illustra- ted, as well as a Directory. Should we succeed in this intent of ours, there wnll be in its pages about 30 engravings, most- ly engraved from original drawings made expressly for this work, at an expense of II; 10 over $200. We are proud to say we will have in the forthcoming publication, many valuable features which have not been attempted in any previous issue. And we have other valuable and original improvements which we desire to make as soon as patronage will warrant them. Can anything say more for a City than a well compiled Directory ? In 1871-72 we included the Town of Levis, and, later on, the v^^^ages of Bien- ville, Lauzon and St. " -^s^i^h, with the intention of increasing it utility to our city patrons and its circul ion. in this we weve disapijointed ; the increase of cir- culation did not pay the cost of printing and compiling the additional matter. We have, therefore, determined upon issuing a separate Directory of the South Shore, at the very moderate sum oi fifty cents, and hope to secure from our Quebec friends and the public of Levis, sufficient encouragement to warrant the annual appearance of a reliable Directory of that side of the Eiver ; a task which will become easier as soon as the Munici- pality of Levis decide upon numbering the houses and naming the streets not yet named, as has lately been done in Quebec, by order of special meetings of the City Council held in March and 11 irmg not Aprilj 1876 ; a result which we strove to attain by personally arousing our citizens to a true sense of their own interests, and which, upon an invitation so to do, it has been our agreable duty to Bssist in carrying out. It seems prevalent w^ith many to exag- gerate the number of copies of this work sold each year. The annual average sale has not reached 800 copies, including those required by the City Council, Local and Federal Grovernments. Thus any person who knows the expense at- tending such a work is aware that these sales are not a fair remuneration ; the more so if he considers, as we do and deeply feel, that our advertising patron- age does not sustain and cheer us in our annual laborious task — as is the case with support generally given news- papers. We must here say to our friends that it has become a matter of serious con- cern whether we will or not continue its publication at $2.50 per copy; the advertising, which should be the chief means of support, being null or next thing' to it. We have heard quite a number of business men say they could not dispense with the work, even if they had to pay double the amount charged for it ; if the latter would only advertize to the extent 12 of $2 each year, it would be a happy relief, and world enable us to continue its publication at the present price, and cover a number of rebukes we receive from those who refuse even to purchase the work. We do not consider it a charity for any one to purchase a Direc- tory any more than to purchase a news- paper. And unless this advertizing pa- tronage, w^hich we are, as a Directory publisher, entitled to, is before long ex- tended to us, we shall have to raise the price to |3.00. The Directories of the United-States, swarming with adver- tisements, — some indeed having as many as 150 pages of consecutive advertisements — all sell at 3, 4, and 5 dollars per copy. In families, our book will be found more useful than any secular book pub- lished ; for therein is contained infor- mation about the City, setting forth Quebec as it is, in every different phase and aspect. If you do not believe it, try a copy in your family, and thereby see how readily you can answer any question put by your visiting friends about this City, by turning to the Table of Contents. You cannot bestow on your friends re- siding elsewhere a better favour than by sending them a copy of " Cherrier's Quebec Directory." 13 Some people entertain strange notions (and we have heard them expressed) as to how a Directory should be made up. One party has suggested that we arrange the names according to the age of each person, — he demanding to come first among those of his surname, as he was the oldest in town ! Otherwise he would not subscribe to a copy. We have not changed our alphabetical arrange- ment, although we have lost his custom ! Another refused to purchase, because we would not put all sons' names directly under that of their fath ers' ! Another — a notary by the by — says for his hobby, that we should compile the Directory in French ! He too refuses subscribing ! We have kindly received and consigned to the waste basket such almost number- less absurd suggestions. Our book is made for utility, not to please the whims* and caprice of any person. We have studied to condense the information in the book, — making it more convenient for refer- ence — rather than to cope with some Di- rectories, as to thickness of book. The history of this enterprise suffici- ently shows that only one such work can be correctly prepared, if not profita- bly published. Our inhabitants, who willingly submit to the necessary in- ^H—PPfi 14 quisitioii of our canvassers, naturally c/m/f? at an unnecessary repetition. Their in- terest is clearly centered in one correct work. And the diiFerent attempts made by rival Directories in the years 1871-72, 1875-76 and 1877-78, will bear testimony in this respect. Of the last two, the fiist one (Irwin's) was short of over 700 names in the alphabetical part, whilst the latter (Bennett's) was more than 600 short, besi- des being otherwise incorrect and con- sequently unreliable. Here it may not be amiss to say a few words about the more or less vexatious oppositions with which, within the last 8 years, this standard work has had to contend, and the various causes, which to the best of our knowledge, have brought about the publication of the above Directories. It is perhaps for our own good and the public interest and benefit, if we have had — as is the case in other large Cities where the want of a Directory is felt — to put up with op- position in the shape of rival Directories ; and we must avow that we have not al- ways succeeded, notwithstanding our untiring efforts, in preventing such pub- lications. Of the three rivals we have had to overcome, we willingly acknow- ledge that the first in 1871-72 had some 15 chafe ir in- )rrect made ri-T2, mony 3 fiist lames latter , besi- . con- afew itious e last ad to hich have the for taiid case lit of op- Dries ; ot al- our pub- have tnow- some reason to justify its appearance, and yet neither it, nor its subsequent followers, were sufficiently meritorious to carry the field and supersede Cherrier's Quebec Directory. We have good ground for beleiving that the reasons alleged by our first adversaries in favour of their undertaking, are yet ignored by some of our friends, and are not generally known by those who take, or have little or no interest in the welfare of a City Directory. We must submit these facts to the public, so as to show hew we appreciated the motives that actuatedour first opponents, and how we dealt with them, and how later on, the motives of our fresh rivals proved ground- less. The first ofthese appeared in 1871-72. It was printed under the auspices of the Ev4nement newspaper, and compiled un- der the supervision and care of Mar- cotte & Levy. The following apparently plausible motives incited the above gentlemen to undertake what proved to be an unsuccessful attempt, viz : — that Cherrier's Quebec Directory was not printed in Quebec ; that, furthermore, the pecuniary income which naturally derived from its annual publication, was expended abroad ; and finally that no direct benefit in its publication 16 ii! !! Ml f was received by the printers of this City. Other reasons wer^ given, of which we will make no mention, not being desirous of entering into personalities. The above alone can interest the public. Such were the statements made, the merits of which we could not contest, and we quite willingly yielded to what seemed fair and just, as soon as it lay in our power to give satisfaction both to the public and the printers. Accord- ingly, two years later on, having made proper arrangements with A. Cote & Co., from whose printing establishment it has ever since been issued, we had the pleasure, in 1874-75, to see the Directory printed in Quebec — whilst we became a resident of that City. Thus was the public ^ ^sh complied with and the de- sired results obtained. The understand- ing with our patrons, that we were desirous of seeing the work printed here, did not however, do away immediately with the opposition, and in the spring of 1872-73, Marcotte & Levy were still to be found giving vent to their so-called Quebec enterprise. This second attempt had again to be met by the present publisher, and having come to an understanding with the would-be Di- rectory men and a pecuniary induce- 17 s City, ch we being ilities. )ublic. 8, the on test, what lay in oth to ccord- made &Co., ent it id the ectory ame a LS the le de- stand- were I here, iatelv ipring itillto called tempt resent ;o an •e Di- iduce- ment having been gran ted, our opponents retired, and once more we found our- self sole master of the situation. Two years went by, and in the winter of 1875-76 we met with another oppo- nent. This time one Irwin was trying his luck, — though on what ground he expected success, we hardly knew nor he either. A personal animosity ac- tuated him in this venture. We had been, two years previous, the indirect cause of the failure of a Directory published in Toronto by the above gentleman, and as just stated, ill feeling towards our person prompted him in his enterprise. However, as is well known, Irwin's Directory, which appeared three weeks after ours had been issued and distributed, proved unfortunately for him a total failure, both financially and otherwise. The alphabe- tical part of the work having been com- pared with ours was found, as already sta- ted,-deficient by 700 names ; and showed the work in all its demerits, once more at- testing the superiority of the old favor- ite. The year 1876-77 was allowed to go by without opposition being offered, and yet for a third time in 1877-78 — and we have very good motives to believe for the last — rivalry was at work in the person ' » 18 ' of one Bennett. We were altogether at a loss to explain the position taken by him whom we mast call our friend. For a friend indeed he unwillingly proved to be,he having encountered the most signal failure. It renianis for us to assert what is to day a well known and recognized fact ; that the failure of an adversary in such publications, only serves to consoli- date and render the more popular, a work which has had to battle against un- successful enterprises. We have now all faith in the future, knowing, as we do, the truthfulness of the axiom. — labor omnia vincit. The Directory being one of the great enterprises close ol kin, to the railroad, the telegraph and steamship for the saving of time — time in a well organized community being indeed money — it follows inevitably that in compiling a Directory we assume considerable RESPONSIBILITY. A newspaper may reck- lessly ^vent ; it may make statements that, though substantially correct, are not absolutely accurate ; it may be im- posed upon by an unfaithful or dishonest subordinate, or it may suffer from a mis- apprehension or typographical errors ; but in all these cases allowance will be made, or a remedy can easily be devised. u her at a by him For a )ved to t signal rt what >gn ized •sary in jonsoli- a work st un- e now as we — labor great ilroad, :>r the mi^ed ey — it ling a RABLE Y reck- ments ct, are )e im- lonest a mis- rrors ; ill be vised. Not so however with the Directory. It must be nearly perfect, or it is adjudged worthless. And yet what a liability to error there must of necessity be, when there is so much to be done in so limited a time. Notwithstanding the many diffi- culties, we have reason to be proud of the completeness and accuracy of our work. Every thing seems to indicate that our population is on the eve of a remarkable increase. The early completion of our railroads, which are bringing into such close connection all parts of the Province, together with our steam communication, and last but not leasts the City improve- ments — thanks to the Earl of Dufferin — are making a change in our midst, the measure of which our next issue will show. Henceforth, there is every reason to believe that the increase will be a steady one and add to the number of our residents; and by improving the real estate of the City proper, enhance the taxable value of its property and equalize its distribution. Without wishing to trespass on the freedom of thought of our friends and patrons, we claim |that ^although not free from errors, — huuanum est errare — Cherrier's Directory has been and is 20 certainly the most perfect work of the kind issued in our community ; and, even in tracing errors in former issues, we have found in most cases, the fault to lie with those who gave the information. Notwithstanding, to those who might have to find fault with our labour, and perhaps be too easily inclined to criti- cism, we would have them remember the following words of Samuel Johnson who says that : — *' He who has much to do will do something wrong, and of that wrong must suffer the consequences ; and if it were possible that he should always act rightly, yet when such numbers are to judge of his conduct, the bad will censure and obstruct him by malevolence and the good sometimes by mistake." n 1 11 OUR PAST AND PRESENT POPULATION, Including St. Semveur but not the Banlieue, We can approximate very closely the present population of Quebec, by adhering to our usual method of com- putation. Such computation shows a result that is gratifying, notwithstanding the adverse influences which, since many years have prevailed against the growth of our " Noble Old Quebec."

This method of arriving at the growth of this City has heretofore been justified by actual count, notwithstanding state- ments to the contrary. As a marked appreciation of the value of our book in the eyes of our Civic au- thorities, we may here mention that, at the earnest request of Mr. Lawrence A. Cannon, the esteemed Clerk of the City, and the very able City Engineer, Mr. Chas. Baillairge, our Directory has been placed under the corner etone of both the Dufferin Terrace and the Kent Gate on the 18th of October, 1878. And we would be w^ant- ing in elementary courtesy were we to t this opportunity pass by, without asserting these gentlemen's strong claims to our profound gratitude. It should be remembered that there are still several streets in Montcalm ward that remain unnumbered — and that the power to do so does not lie with a publisher of a Directory, but with the City Council. 23 r publi- tion, to ntained , 4 J and TQ done, me, we Census inlieue. growth ustified 5 state- 3 value vie au- that, at ence A. ^e City, r.
