Tribune Starts Compilation of City Directory
The Tribune begins compiling the 1944 Ley city directory with Miss Audry Dempsey in charge of gathering informal information and Murray handling advertising.

The effort aims for up to date data by press time, but wartime conditions hinder a 1942 volume update and residents have changed, making a new book necessary later.
