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 Holi- days 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-
1000x31/2x305 1,067,500
Consultations or "User Circulation" The City Directory offers the most Specific Point of Contact advertising known
