Advertising reaches those who are not ready to buy, and when they are ready to buy, in many cases they will have forgotten the name and address of the advertiser, and will seek it in the classified lists of the City Directory.

TT is a good thing, isn't it? You would not think of doing business without it.

But it is only seen by those who pass your way.

The City Directory is where many people look when they want to find you. You should make it easy for them to find you by putting in the directory such infor- mation as a buyer wants to know. Index your business under all classifications where a customer might look for you.

To be properly registered costs less than to be left out. Send for the City Directory Advertising Man and let him explain this to you in detail.
