interest. The first volume will deal with
"Who's Who"—the second with "What's
What"—among the Jews of Detroit.

"WHO'S WHO"—Volume I , will contain biog-
raphical sketches of the many, many Jews who
have played a part in building up the present-
day Detroit. Not only will it discuss the ca-
reers of those emminent men of whom we are
all proud and with whom we are all familiar
but it will provide intimate biographies of a
vast number of worth-while men, who are but
little known to the general public. In this way
it will become a handy, necessary, accurate
reference book; much in demand, no doubt, in
libraries, newspaper offices, etc.

Detroit will be proud
of the Jewish
Community Blue Book

AS A JEW you are proud. You are proud of your
own people—their glorious history, their no-
ble traditions, their lofty ideals, their practical
achievements. You are proud of your past;
you are confident of your present; your are
hopeful of your future.

A WELL KNOWN JOURNALIST remarked the
other day that we Jews are notable among the
peoples because we combine imagination with
practicability. He was right. The imagina-
tion of the East and the progressiveness of the
West are merged in the American Jew. We
in Detroit—more than in any other city typify
the spirit of American Jewry.

TO BE SURE you are interested—deeply interest-
ed—in the ambitions and achievements of our
people in all lands. You thrill at their exploits
in Australia. You glory in their ambitions in
Palestine. You marvel at their re-awakening
in the Central empires. You enthuse at their
diplomatic conquests in Italy. But after all,
you are most concerned with their standing
here at home.

THE JEWS OF DETROIT, we may proudly recog-
nize, have not dimmed the luster of their bril-
liant history. In public service they are lead-
ers as well as soldiers. They have conceived
big things, and they have led the way in their
fulfillment. In art, in politics, in business, in
law, in letters, in philosophy, in social service
—have they played their part and played it
well.

FROM TIME TO TIME you have read of the work
of these men. Now and then the achievements
of some of them have fallen under the calcium-
glare of publicity—but all too often their rec-
ords have been left to obscurity. The Jewish
Community Blue Book, if it did nothing else
but give rightful recognition to these earnest
men and women would justify it's purpose.

THE JEWISH COMMUNITY BLUE BOOK OF
DETROIT will soon be published—even now
it is in course of preparation. It will be issued
in two volumes. Physically it will be9 credit
to any library. Simple in effect, artiAic in ex-
ecution, it will be a publication worthy of your

"WHAT'S WHAT''—the second volume—will be
a fitting companion to "Who's Who." It will
provide much information, often desired and
seldom obtainable, relating to the Jewish popu-
lation of our city. "What's What" will con-
tain a carefully-edited directory of the organi-
zations made up of Jews and of those minister-
ing to the Jewish needs of our city. It will
inform you of the men and women who are
back of the organized movements of the mo-
ment. It will give proper recognition to the
religious, social and philanthropic forces that
are bring about a re-awakening among our
people.

TO BE SURE the compilation of these facts repre-
sents a very vast work. It demands research
of avenues which have long been overlooked.
It requires an expenditure of money which has
never before been regarded as justifiable, but
the publishers of the Jewish Community Blue
Book feel that it's production will be a distinct
asset both to the public and to our own com-
munity, and that the cost and labor involved
will be justified.

A LARGE STAFF .OF EDITORS has long been
working on the matter which will find publi-
cation in the Jewish Community Blue Book.
They are men of the highest journalistic attain-
ments—publicists, rabbis, educators, journal-
ists, etc. Their enlistment in this work is a
good augury of the character of the Jewish
Community Blue Book.

THE PUBLISHERS GIVE THIS advance an-
nouncement of the Jewish Community Blue
Book because they feel that it is an undertak-
ing with which the Jewish population should
be familiar. They feel that it's scope is so
vast, it's purpose so worthy, it's interest so
general, that it assumes the character of a
civic undertaking. You will be proud of the

Jewish Community Blue Book.
