THE BEST ADVERTISING MEDIUM IS THE


CITY DIRECTORY


Because It Is Used The Most To Find Just Such Information You Most Wish To Have The Public Know


FIRST-what line of goods you handle. SECOND-where you are located. Pick up a City Directory anywhere, and almost in- variably you can tell who the progressive, up-to-date merchants and professional men are. There are many brands of clothing, shoes, dry goods, groceries, etc., and some prefer one kind, some another. What better place to state your special brands than in the City Directory?
