    Default Trade directories in US

    Can anyone tell me whether pdfs (or searchable sites) for 19th century trade directories (anything like the Leicester Uni site for UK directories) are available? I've spent the last hour trying to find them, but I must be using the wrong key words because nothing useful is turning up, so .

    I'm just trying to find out where and when a firm of Chicago microscope makers were in business, and I'm now feeling daft because I thought that they'd be easy to find!.

    This may help, Lesley:

    I believe Chicago is in Cook County, for which there is a live link.

    Also, there is a link to Illinois Online Historical Newspapers.
