DIRECTORY IS THE COMMON INTERMEDIARY BETWEEN BUYER AND SELLER'

Locating Missing Heirs Finding Lost Persons

This is only one of the many offices that the modern directory successfully fills

The directories of the United States form a perpetual inventory of the human ele- ment of the nation as well as the business activities.

Police Departments, the country over, rely upon directory information for the loca- tion of lost persons. Lawyers and executors of estates are likewise dependent on the information that these "city catalogs" contain.

Real Esate buyers and agents have multitude occasions to refer to the pages of directories of other cities in order that they may have detailed and authentic information on parcels of land and subdivisions in which they have a personal or business interest.

Credit managers have unlimited use for the pages of the modern directory, as have collection managers and agencies.

The uses of the city directory are legion; the information is authentic and the manu- facturers and companies that are represented therein are reputable and dependable.
