A PERSISTENT ADVERTISER
One of the most persistent advertisers in the history of success was Robinson Crusoe.
He believed in advertising.
He knew what he wanted-a ship.
And he put up an ad for one.
He flung a shirt on a pole at the top of his island; that, in the lang- uage of the sea, was plain to every seafaring man.
The circulation was small and there was no other medium, but Cru- soe kept it there despite the fact that he got no inquiries for a long time. He changed his copy-as one garment after another was flapped out-and in the end got what he wanted, was happy, and his name and fame have come down through the ages.
The present-day merchant is much better off than Crusoe.
He Has The City Directory through which he can reach all the peo- ple, some of whom want his goods. Your chances of success are thous- ands to his one, but your chances of failure are the same as his.
Suppose Robinson Crusoe had taken down that signal after, say a year, and declared, "Advertising doesn't pay," where would he and his story now be?
Put up your signal and keep it up. There will be a number of ships crusing around during the year 1916 that will be glad to call and take you off the island of Dull Business.
Crusoe advertised under discouraging circumstances. You have got a sure thing-The City Directory.
Mr. Manufacturer, Merchant (Wholesale and Retail) :
No other publication in the world so thoroughly represents the com- mercial, social and private interests of your city as The City Directory. Representing, as it does, every private citizen from the hovel to the mansion; every commercial, social, religious and educational institution and all other data pertaining to your city. it is beyond question. the most accurate and complete index to the city and its various interests in existence.
The Directory is the dictionary to the city and the Piedmont Direc- tory Co. intend that 1916 shall be The Unabridged Edition. "The first aid to strangers and a standard remedy for homefolks, accurate, com- plete and up-to-date in every respect. Unusual prospects of profit (direct and indirect) and Civic Pride should influence every manufacturer and business man to have full representation in this Directory. and every well-governed home to have a copy of the latest Directory for the use and convenience of Strangers and visitors. "Know thyself"" is sound med- ical advice; Know Your City is equally good business advice. Consult the Directory when you want to buy or sell and you will get the best of ev- erything at the lowest price and help reduce the high cost of living.
Mr. Manufacturer and Business Man-It's a fact that the Directory is your city's only standing representative to the world beyond your own gates and the only index to your city's growth and prosperity. Future Directories, by the exchange system, now in general use. will be placed in the Directory Libraries of the Principal Cities of The United States for the use of all who wish to consult its pages. A well-patronized city directory indicates a good city to locate in. Yours truly,
PIEDMONT DIRECTORY CO.
