Out of Sight! Out of Mind! Out of Business!


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


The City Directory is the natural medium for keeping a business or product name in the spotlight. Insist on being well represented in its pages.

Do your employers furnish you with the latest edition of the City Directory


?


You need it at your elbow at all times, to protect your company from forgers and bad-check artists. A few questions, checked against City Directory informa- tion, will trip them at once. Intelligent use of the City Directory for this purpose has saved thousands of dollars and helped make some cities "too sharp" for bad-check "operators."
