TRADE!You like
to patronize those concerns who are in business to stay.
It's human to expect that such busi- ness establishments always stand back of the wares they sell.
The advertising in this Directory is suggestive of the stability and per- manency of the advertisers.,
Frauds, fakes, get-rich-quicks and other schemers have little use for directory advertising. It lives too long.
The modern City Directory is a business institution., It occupies a place peculiarly its own. It is as necessary to the progress and de- velopment of a city generally as anything naturally would be which deals with such a fundamental as the citizens themselves.
If you are not advertising your busi- ness in the Directory, may we ex- plain how and why it will pay you?

HOUSEHOLD DRUDGERY is now a matter of choice
ELECTRICAL Household Helps
Make it unnecessary for the housewife of today to view her day's work with alarm and distaste. Electrical appliances are now obtainable for practically every purpose but washing the baby and, as a result, mother has more time to devote to the care of the family.
This is a "push the button" age, and nowhere is this better exemplified than by the interesting display of Electrical helps at

Don't advertise your Inefficiency
A string on a finger was a sure sign of mental weakness. It is yet, but nobody uses it. In common with things mechanical and material, the human mind has grown more dependable and efficient. Added to this natural improvement are many helps in various forms.
For city information and reminders, we suggest POLK'S CITY DIRECTORIES
as a very material assistant to you and your busi- ness. Use them often and properly.
