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 ques- tions, checked against City Directory information, 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."

WHY A BUYERS' GUIDE ?


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


It gives business firms the opportunity to elaborate upon a description of their products and services impossible in the limited space of regular Alphabetical and Classified listings.


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