Locating Missing Heirs Finding Lost Persons


THIS IS ONLY ONE OF THE MANY OFFICES THAT A MODERN DIRECTORY SUCCESSFULLY FILLS


The Directories of the United States form a per- petual inventory of the human element of the nation as well as the business activities.


Police Departments, the country over, rely upon directory information for the location of lost persons. Lawyers and executors of estates are likewise depend- ent on the information that these "city catalogs" contain.


Real Estate buyers and agents have multitude occasions to refer to the pages of directories of other cities in order that they may have detailed and authen- tic information on parcels of land and subdivisions in which they have a personal or business interest.


Credit managers have unlimited use for the pages of the modern directory, as have collection managers and agencies.


The uses of the City Directory are legion; the in- formation is authentic and the manufacturers and com- panies that are represented therein are reputable and dependable.

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

WHY A Buyers' Guide?


* It is customary to include a Buyers' Guide in the City Directory because:


It gives business firms the opportu- nity to elaborate upon a description of their products and services im- possible in the limited space of regular Alphabetical and Classified listings.


The Buyers' Guide is a necessary supplement to the reguiar listings; it is good City Directory information .. . EXTENDED
