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."

FACTS !!
ABOUT CITY DIRECTORY CIRCULATION
The true value of advertising circulation is circulation consulted- "User Circulation."
To be exact by actual survey in twenty-four average American cities by actual count each city Directory averaged three and one-half consultations for each business day.
To be conservative we will eliminate the sixty Sundays and Holidays when no tests were made.
For every thousand Directories sold there is an average of three and one-half daily consultations for each book for three hundred and five days, therefore-
1000X31/2×305= 1,067,500 Consultations or "User Circulation" The City Directory offers the most Specific Point of Contact advertising known
