1993 Scottsbluff / Gering City Directory
by R.L. Polk & Co.

This is the annual city directory, not a phone book and not a county history. The volume has the classified, alphabetical, street, and telephone sections, and it gives the 1993 counts: 1,560 business listings, 8,840 household, 5,160 resident, 15,560 total.  The original price was $115.

Genealogists use a run of them to watch a household move, a woman change her name, or a business open and close. One year is a snapshot. The set is the record. Later directories do not replace an earlier one.
