City Directory -- "DON'TS"


DON'T put your directory in an out of the way place, but keep it in a place that your customers can see and use it without stopping some ONE to find it.


DON'T think that a directory is paying for itself unless you use it, any more than an idle clerk can make you money.


DON'T look mad when a customer asks to look at your directory.


DON'T look happy when a neighbor wants to borrow your directory, for if you do, he will borrow again and if all were borrowers, when would the next Directory be published?


DON'T forget that an up-to-date City must have a Directory and a merchant that has no DIRECTORY is what?


DON'T forget that a Directory borrower to-day will forget to return it to-morrow and you call him what?


DON'T forget that the man who has a Directory pays for it and the borrower gets for nothing what another man pays for. What do you call him?
