INFORMATION
in the mass seems like a dull proposition but when we have a need of some person or thing nothing interests us more than getting infor- mation about that person or thing.
This directory looks like a big book to be walked around or fallen over or put out of the way, until you need some information that it contains-then it becomes the handiest thing around the place.
Has it ever occurred to you how much infor- mation you could get from this book, if you really knew how to use it?
There is a great mass of information here, ar- ranged in a logical way that experience has shown most easily referred to. It does take a little study to know how to make full use of it however, like anything else worth while.
A little study that opens up a new way to save time or increase accuracy is an asset to any- one. It may be you will find a lot of infor- mation you did not know was here before, that you would have spent a lot of time and trouble to find in other ways, and you will have increased your efficiency just that much.
In buying, in selling, in shipping, correspon- dence, granting credit, sending bills, collecting money-

FACTS !!
ABOUT CITY DIRECTORY CIRCULATION
The true value of advertising circulation is circulation consulted - "User Circulation."
To be exact by actual survey in twenty-four average American cities, by actual count, each city Directory averaged three and one-half consultations for each business day.
To be conservative we will eliminate the sixty Sundays and Holi- days when no tests were made.
For every thousand Directories sold there is an average of three and one-half daily consultations for each book for three hundred and five days, therefore -
1000 x 31/2 × 305=1,067,500
Consultations or "User Circulation"
The City Directory offers the most Specific Point of Contact Advertising Known
