Do your employers furnish you with the latest edition of the City Directory?
You need it at your elbow at all times, to protect your company from forgers and bad-check artists. A few questions, checked against City Directory informa- tion, will trip them at once. Intelligent use of the City Directory for this purpose has saved thousands of dollars and helped make some cities "too sharp" for bad-check "operators."

The importance of keeping firm and product names in the public eye is recognized by all business men. It is astonishing 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 for keep- ing a business or product name in the spotlight. Insist on being well represented in its pages.

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 32 x 305 = 1,067,500
Consultations or "User Circulation"
The City Directory offers the most Specific Point of Contact Advertising Known
