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

CAUTION-
Pay no money in advance to itinerant Directory Canvassers. We are led to mention this from the fact that certain parties have been fraudulently using our publications as specimens, and by that means collecting money in advance. Before signing an order, see that it has the name of R. L. Polk & Co. printed thereon. We ask no payment until the work is delivered, and our solicitors have strict orders not to take payment for either advertising or subscriptions.
