WHY A BUYERS' GUIDE?

"IT IS CUSTOMARY TO INCLUDE A BUYERS' GUIDE IN THE CITY DIRECTORY BECAUSE:

It gives business firms the opportunity to elaborate upon a description of their products and services impossible in the limited space of regular Alphabetical and Classified listings.

The Buyers' Guide is a necessary supplement to the regular listings; it is good City Directory information .. . EXTENDED *

The CITY DIRECTORY has a Definite Place in the Business Man's POST-WAR PLANS

The average market is nothing like it was at the out- break of the war. The extent of change has been tre- mendous. Use the new City Directory to reanalyze the city-to see what it has gained and lost-to check the movements and trends-to secure a record of the vast army of removals-to organize for merchandising new products and services.

The City Directory is an Unbiased Picture That Tells a Story
