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 astonish- ing 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 keeping a business or product name in the spotlight. Insist on being well represented in its pages

A Householders' Directory including a Street and Avenue Guide. This section lists every street and where intersecting streets appear. It lists numerically every location on each street, naming the householder or business at each number and whether the person is a homeowner or renter and if he has a telephone. Similar information is provided on office and public buildings and their occupants.
