Excerpt from Ocean City Guide Book and Directory: Containing a List of Permanent and Temporary Residents, Street Directory, Societies, Religious Services, Historical and Biographical Sketches, Wrecks, Etc., Railroad and Steam Boat Time-Tables, Etc Believing that Ocean City is destined to rank among the first of summer resorts of the New Jersey coast, and in response to a desire frequently expressed by our citizens and visitors, we have endeavored to set forth in as compact form as possible, many of its most interesting and important features. As this is the first effort made in the direction of a Guide Book and Directory, the compilation has been tedious and difficult, and there may be errors and omissions, which we ask our readers to overlook. The constantly changing population of a seaside resort renders accuracy almost impossible except for a short period. We believe, however, the book to be so complete as to be of great advantage to our citizens, our summer residents and transient guests. The demand has already secured for it a large circulation. We are indebted for information contained in the historical sketches to the marine official records of the coast, the Historical Collections of the state, and to the older residents, the Life Guards, Sailors and Fishermen of Southern New Jersey.
