THE CITY DIRECTORY


places the city on the map and is its only representative to the world beyond its own gate.


It is the city's catalogue of business and represents the city, its citizens and institutions in every corner of these United States.


It is the logical means of publicity in advertising the city, its manufacturing industries, its advantages and resources.


The men who direct the affairs of progressive and up-to-date business institutions, recognize the fact that the City Directory tells the story of the city's life and keeps it before the public as no other publication does or can.


Its classified Business Section furnishes a list of all trades, professions and pursuits, constituting a special trade directory or buyers' guide and is the best advertising medium on earth.


1448


COMMON SENSE ABOUT CITY DIRECTORY CIRCULATION


---


The true value of advertising circulation is circulation consulted.


To be exact by actual survey in twenty-four average American cities by actual count each city directory averaged three and one-half consultations for each business day.


To be conservative we will eliminate the sixty Sundays and Holidays when no tests were made.


For every thousand directories sold there will be an average of three and one-half daily consultations for each book for three hundred and five days, therefore-

Coastwide banking service


In 1864, a bank that adhered to an essentially commercial type of service was ahead of its day, for commercial and industrial prog- ress on the Coast had hardly begun.


Since then, the unified development of the three Pacific states has demonstrated, many times, the foresight of the founders of The Bank of California. The steady growth of this bank (since 1864 in Cali- fornia, 1882 in Oregon and 1889 in Washington) rests on its close relationship with all major industries of the West.
