OUT OF SIGHT! OUT OF MIND! OUT OF BUSINESS!

The importance of keeping firm and product names in the public eye is recognized by all business men. It is astonishing to see how a firm or product, however meritorious, will slip into the limbo of the forgotten if not persistently advertised.

THE CITY DIRECTORY IS THE NATURAL MEDIUM FOR KEEPING A BUSINESS OR PROD- UCT NAME IN THE SPOTLIGHT. INSIST ON BEING WELL REPRESENTED IN ITS PAGES.

Power of Advertising

The City Directory is the power that generates information for the buyer that he may know who deals in the products he wishes to purchase. If your business is not classified properly, and a display advertisement arranged to describe your business, how can you expect the buyer to trade with you?

ADVERTISING is the foundation upon which successful businesses are built. You must apply this to your own particular business.

ADVERTISING is the power of an idea multiplied.

OUR SERVICE CANNOT BE EXCELLED
