Book Description
Excerpt from Grand Rapids and Kent County, Michigan, Vol. 2 of 2: Historical Account of Their Progress From First Settlement to the Present Time After more than a year of continuous and painstaking effort on the part of a considerable corps of workers, the publishers of these vol umes on Kent County and Grand Rapids, present them to those for whom they were prepared in the belief that they will be found more than was promised. In their preparation accuracy has been kept more in mind than ornate diction. It was not intended to go into all the stories and traditions which hang about the dawn of white settlement in the Grand River Valley, but it was rather the plan to supplement former publications so that a searcher in the archives might find their story consistently connected down to the present year. In collaboration with Mr. Ernest B. Fisher, who has acted as our guide and mentor in all this work, we feel that a worthy and reliable result has been achieved. His long residence in Grand Rapids and his activities in many public affairs have qualified him for editor in all things relating to the last half century in this thriving metropolis of Western Michigan.

Knowing this, they have left no stone unturned which would assist in making the book what the prospectus represented it would be. Besides using every precaution to avoid errors in the matter promised, they have even added to its appearance and utility a very pretty map of the State, which was engraved expressly for this work.

Book Description
Excerpt from Grand Rapids and Kent County Michigan, Vol. 1 of 2: Historical Account of Their Progress From First Settlement to the Present Time After more than a year of continuous and painstaking effort on the part of a considerable corps of workers, the publishers of these vol umes on Kent County and Grand Rapids, present them to those for whom they were prepared in the belief that they will be found more than was promised. In their preparation accuracy has been kept more in mind than ornate diction. It was not intended to go into all the stories and traditions which hang about the dawn of white settlement in the Grand River Valley, but it was rather the plan to supplement former publications so that a searcher in the archives might find their story consistently connected down to the present year. In collaboration with Mr. Ernest B. Fisher, who has acted as our guide and mentor in all this work, we feel that a worthy and reliable result has been achieved. His long residence in Grand Rapids and his activities in many public affairs have qualified him for editor in all things relating to the last half century in this thriving metropolis of Western Michigan. And in addition we have had the assistance of an excellent corps Of advisory editors, each selected because of his knowledge of the subject matter dwelt upon in the department given over to his super vision. The chapter devoted to the Furniture Industry was con tributed by Mr. William Widdicomb, who has spent a more than ordinarily active life in that important branch of the Valley City's activities, and we feel that a better selection could not have been made. Clay H. Hollister has literally grown up in the banking business and there is perhaps no man in Michigan more familiar than he is with the history of financial affairs in general and of Grand Rapids in particular. Mr. Hollister acted as our advisory editor for the chapter on Banking and Finance. Wilder D. Stevens, of the firm of Foster, Stevens Company, gave us the benefit of his long experience in the mercantile life of Grand Rapids by reviewing the chapter on Retail Industry, and Jacob Kleinhans and Eugene Boise performed similar service, respectively, on the chapters, Courts and Lawyers and the Medical Profession. The high standing of these men in their pro fessions is a guarantee of the excellence of any work they undertake.
