Please! Do Not Lend Your CITY DIRECTORY IT COSTS YOU MONEY-Every Time It Is Loaned
The practice of lending your City Directory, in a great measure, is re- sponsible for the increasing cost of Directory Service.
The reason is :-
There is a definite cost involved in the making of the DIRECTORY of Your City. THIS COST MUST BE ABSORBED BY THE SUBSCRIBERS-BE THEY ONE-OR BE THEY 1000.
If there were but ONE SUBSCRIBER to the CITY DIRECTORY-THE ONE SUBSCRIBER would of necessity have to absorb THE WHOLE COST. If there were 100 SUBSCRIBERS-each one would have to absorb 1/100th PART OF THE WHOLE COST.
If there were 1000 SUBSCRIBERS-each one would have to absorb 1/1000th PART OF THE WHOLE COST.
From which it is obvious that the GREATER the number of subscribers -the LESSER the cost to each.
And
It is also obvious that the LESSER the number of subscribers-the GREATER the cost to each.
Every time you loan your City Directory the LESS NECESSITY THERE IS FOR THE BORROWER TO SUBSCRIBE FOR THE SERVICE.
MORE BORROWERS result in FEWER SUBSCRIBERS which means IN- CREASED COST.

THE BUILDING OF THE PYRAMID
All of the toil and effort that went into the building of those mammoth Pyramids which have weathered the storms of cen- turies and the hot Egyptian sun-all of this would not compare with the toil and effort used to build this pyramid of assets.
But there is a difference. The Egyptian Pyramids were builded by slaves as monuments to kings, builded by the driving toil of unwilling hands. The National Pyramid is builded by free men in the pursuit of health and happiness for their loved ones, builded by willing hands and unselfish hearts.
