WHY A BUYERS' GUIDE ?
* It is customary to include a Buyers' Guide in the City Directory because : : :
It gives business firms the opportunity to elaborate upon a description of their products and services impossible in the limited space of regular Alphabetical and Classified listings.
The Buyers' Guide is a necessary supplement to the regular listings; it is good City Directory information . . . EXTENDED

Out of Sight - Out of Mind . Out of Business * The importance of keeping firm and product names in the public eye is recognized by all business men. It is astonish- ing 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 lor keeping a business or product name In the spotlight, losist on being well represented In Its pages
