GLOUCESTER DIRECTORY
There are two kinds of Advertising
That which the Buyer seeks, and that which is thrust upon him. 1
Both are good
Display advertising suggests wants and creates desire. Of its tremendous power many present day successes bear witness.
Reference Advertising steps in when the desire has been created. It shows where the goods can be purchased and gives information that the buyer wants when he wants to buy.
A Connecting Link
The weakness of display advertising is that often a need is not realized until the ad that suggested it is misplaced or thrown away.
A shrewd buyer usually looks the field over before buying and where is so logical a place to look as in this book.
A Help to You
In your buying, use the lists in this book. If you see a name in heavy type it is because that concern thought enough of your possible business to make it easy for you to find them. If it says "See page - - ", you will find there information that will really help you.
Are You Covered?
Have you made it easy for buyers to find you, by putting a bold type listing under every heading where they might look for you or a competitor? Have you put information in the "Selling Section" that will really help a buyer, and point to you as the one who can serve him best?
If not, make a note to do it in the next edition, and let us tell you now how little it costs to be protected.

The Home of Good Directories
COMPILING DEPARTMENT
The City Directory has become a universal necessity in looking up new prospects, in purchasing supplies, and in market- ing products. Our experience of over eighty-five years-our reputation for accuracy, our large force of experienced help and our complete equipment for the work, all guarantee the best in directory compilation.
ADVERTISING DEPARTMENT
Put-"We are listed in the Directory" in all your adver- tising copy. Addresses are often forgotten or mislaid, though the name is remembered. The firm that is properly registered in all branches of its industry is wise. Don't forget that direc- tory advertising supplements and rounds out all your other advertising by giving the most explicit directions how to find you.
Ask Sampson & Murdock Company about the City Directory, the book of many uses.

GLOUCESTER DIRECTORY
CITY DIRECTORY
The First Place the Buying Public Goes!
Why the City Directory first. It saves time. The ads are classified. Your customers find you instantly. It's the logical place for them to go because it's an index to the city and can be found in libraries in the principal cities of the United States and in Canada, besides in the offices of many of the important business houses throughout the world.
Beat Them To It - By Advertising in the
CITY DIRECTORY
Thousands upon thousands will consult it for a whole year. The price of space is so small, compared with the valu- able publicity you get, that you can't afford to be left out.
