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
