Y OU LIKE to Patronize those Concerns Who are in Business to Stay.
It's human to expect that such business estab- lishments always stand back of the wares they sell.
The advertising in this Directory is suggestive of the stability and permanency of the advertisers.
Frauds, fakes, get-rich-quicks and other schemers have little use for directory advertising. It lives too long.
The modern city directory is a business institu- tion. It occupies a place peculiarly its own. It is as necessary to the progress and development of a city generally as anything naturally would be which deals with such a fundamental as the citi- zens themselves.
IF YOU ARE NOT ADVERTISING YOUR BUSINESS IN THE DIRECTORY, MAY WE EXPLAIN HOW AND WHY IT WILL PAY YOU.

Bricks Without Straw
In ancient times, we are told, the Israelites were forced to do their work without the proper materials. They did it-after a fash- ion-but at an enormous cost in time and labor. Labor was cheap in those days, how- ever, and their task masters had the power to insist upon the full quota being given in spite of limitations.
Now the labor market is high, yet, in many cases history repeats itself. We still often see business trying to get along without the proper tools or with antiquated equipment.
You can do business without the telephone: it is possible to get along without a typewriter; you may use a quill pen for your correspond- ence if you so desire; it is your privilege to be without insurance, or the latest directory. If you wish you may still use a mailing list that was old when grandfather was a boy.
If the results are not entirely satisfactory, it is up to you.
Some firms prate wisely of business efficiency and then lose time and money sending to wrong addresses culled from an out-of-date directory. Rather than spend the few dollars necessary to insure themselves being properly listed under all the headings applicable to their business, they run the risk of letting their com- petitor get their trade. They save the first cost and waste postage stamps by the gross.
Would you improve on old methods? Then phone or write at once for particulars to
