TO THE PUBLIC AND TO OUR PATRONS
From our timid debut in 1921 we are now in the full limelight of 1922,
and we have come to say we will not weary the reader with a detail of our
trials or our work, but will say that everything has been done in a thorough,
—
sys—tematic manner- sufficient to make this volume lust what it was intended
for an unerring guide for those who follow—the line of investigation the
world over. "Fools only make no mistakes" and as we don't l)9long in
that class, mistakes may be found in our publication. But we will ask the
critic "to not tell other people BUT TO TELL VS, and we will thank them
for so doing.
Many detective agencie—s have merged; some have disl)anded, and many
changes have taken place but we have endeavored to keep pace, and our
lists are as accurate as the authenticity of the data submitted to us by
those in position to know, would permit.
AS TO REPUTATION
We will say that to the best of our ability, the long list—of individuals
singly and collectively mentioned in this book are—of the best we will have
nothing to do with one that isn't, if we know it but at the same time we
advi—se our patrons to use the same business acumen they would in any other
line make inquiries first. Human nature is varying all the time.
We have a word of thaiiks for those patrons who saw the possibilities
of this book and helped by th«^ir efforts t(i bring it from the critical, experi-
mental stage into w.hat.it now <s, an indisfeivsable adjunct to those whose
duty is the suppression of vice.
—
Some liave stood back; some have covertly sneered hut criticisms have
been few. We say,.h(>^'ever, it's your boo.k-^-te',11 as what you want and we
will try and make it to auit YOF; '.: ,
We invite criticism and desire your early co-operation for all data, etc.,
that can be supplied to make the 1923 edition exactly what you would
wish it to be.
INTERN.ATL I'OIJCK DETECTTVP. DIRECTUItV
cV;-
We are ardent advocates of co-operation and we direct the attentio.i
ol" our patrons to the ample list we have of detectives and finger-print and
- other experts listed in this book.
These are graduates from the best institutions of learning and are in
every way worthy of your patronage and support, and as they have placed
. their name where you can see it give them a call. It is our idea to ^et
people in touch.
AGENCIES
*^
are listed according to location and not alphabetically, as such an anaiiKe-
-ment would necessitate a costly index of 20 or more pages, wliich is (luite
an item in expense when the whole world, let alone the l'. S. is considered.
Some people tliiiik we e.xaggerate when we say "around the world."
But to these we will say that a fugitive who has committed murder in a
little shack in the wilds of Arkansas, we will say. fle—es (it don't niattet*
where) our agents will get him on some of our routes —Honolulu. Manila,
Shangh—ai, Hongkong, Natal, Durban, London or Paris it doesn't matter
where we are in touch with men who are willing to co-operate. Race and
language are no ])arriers.
TO (UK RITICS
<
You can facilitate matters pertaining to hearty co-operation by sending
in any data on corrections or ideas on design immediately on receipt of thi.-^
volume, while they are fresh in your mind. This is youi- book and we are
trying to please you.

To tlu" profession everywhere, and to the general

tion, this vohinte is respectfully dedicated. If it proves
an aid on the weary routes of the long trail, then its
conception is amply verified.

BUREAU OF CONSULTATION
The young detective, just starting out, is in u quandary.
He knows he has studied the game thoroughly, l)ut he gets
the mistal<:en idea that the C—ollege, or some Agency, should
give him a job immediately and he runs into snags, and
hinders what might be a promising career, because he don't
know who to appeal to for advice, and whom he can implicitly
trust. Th's is a time "when a feller needs a friend."
has l)een "stung" and ridiculed, and his rosy dreams,
have been shattered, uiitrl life looks like a drearv waste.
We receive letters from tliese young "Hawks" daily, and
we never fail to point out where the difficulty is and start
them right, as many of our operators today can testify.
Many Agencies and Private Detectives could l)e kept—off
the rocks l)y a little sound advice, at the proper juncture so
we have decided in the future to open a Bureau of Information
for those who need or feel the aid of one, whether it be those
wMo have the yearning, which almost every human has at
some time or another, to beco—me a detective, a student, a
graduate, or even a professional who might desire co—nsulta-
tion, or possibly an agency that is a))Out to go under when
possil)ly some sound advice might alter their prospects entirely..,
A few letters don't amount to much, as a matter of fact,
l)ut the amount we receive daily forces us to charge at least
$1.00 per letter for such services, where details are gone into,
and a personal letter has to be written to fit each case.
Rememl)er, all inquiries are held strictly confidential.
