The Symbol of Service in fine Book-making
THE distinctive Conkey Winged Horse trade mark is symbolic of over 70 years of develop- ment in the printing arts. It typifies an institution of capability. The immense Conkey plant embodies mental and mechanical equipment that has suc- ceeded in manufacturing fine books for over a half-century.
The Winged Horse imprint in your book signifies quality from cover to cover. It assures strength of construction, fine papers, excellent typography, and long service.
The ability to produce fine books is a Conkey achievement that should be of profitable interest to you.

Out of Sight! . Out of Mind! . Out of Business!
The importance of keeping firm and product names in the public eye is recognized by all business men. It is astonishing to see how a firm or product, however meritorious, will slip into the limbo of the forgotten if not persistently advertised.
The City Directory is the natural medium for keeping a business or pro- duct 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."
