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 keep- ing a business or product name in the spotlight. Insist on being well represented in its pages.
