Is where people look for you when they want to do business. You should make it easy for them to find you, by putting such information as a buyer wants, in the Directory properly indexed under all headings where he might look for you.

Stabilityand Permanency


Do you realize that a City Directory advertisement is a testimonial to the per- manency, the stability, of the advertiser?


That's the sort of concern all of us want to patronize, because we know when they sell us merchandise they are behind it in every way, today, tomorrow, and for the years to come.


"Fly-by-night," "fire-sale" and other temporary or "get-rich-quick" concerns rarely appear in the City Direc- tory.


And it is a noteworthy fact that the concerns which advertise one year in the city directory are there again next year. 90% of directory advertising is renewed.


Directory advertising, is profitable. In connection with the class- ified business headings it is doubly effective.


May we explain how and why it will pay you?

INTRODUCTORY


We take pleasure in the fact that the number of names listed in this directory shows a large increase over those in our directory of 1913.


The increase in the number of names of course signifies a proportionate increase in the population of Indianapolis.


There are 110,102 names listed in this volume, a gain of 3,328 as compared with the volume of 1913.


It has been demonstrated that a fair and conservative estimate of the popu- lation is formed by multiplying the number of names so listed by 21/2.


By following this method it is shown that the estimated population of Indian- apolis is 275,255.


And this is a gain of 8,320 as compared with the estimate of the preceding year.


Care is taken, in ascertaining the number of names listed, to avoid duplication.


In connection with the figures as to the population it should be borne in mind that Indianapolis by reason of its many conventions has, in addition to this fixed population, a large transient population during the greater part of the year.


It is not alone in population that Indianapolis has gone forward in the past year. The new buildings that have been erected; the new business enterprises that have been established; the commercial and industrial prosperity evident; the many im- provements along various lines that have been effected-all these tend to show the progress that the city has made.


And it has been progress of a substantial kind-not due to any campaign of ex- pansion, but because of the many advantages, natural and acquired, that Indian- apolis enjoys.


The contents of this volume include a carefully collected and compiled alpha- betical list of citizens, industrial and commercial enterprises; federal, state, county and city officials; churches; schools; office buildings and apartment houses; the various literary, patriotic, fraternal, benevolent and other organizations; a classified business directory, and a complete readily understood householders' directory and street guide, which points out the street car line that will take one nearest to any address in the city, and designates each householder in numerical order.


This new feature has been included in the directory at a great expense and we trust it will give the satisfaction desired.


At our offices, 320-324, 8 East Market street, we maintain a directory library containing current copies of directories of all the larger and many of the smaller cities.


This library is for the use of our patrons, and we are pleased to have them avail themselves of it, as well as any other service at our command, at any time.
