Some city directories contained two sets of abbreviations: a general set that applied to entries across the United States and a second set that applied to the specific geographic region the directory covered. The second set, if there is one, may appear right before the alphabetical list of names. The general set likely is on its own page. The specific abbreviations typically contain abbreviations for employers common in the area.
