HOW TO GET A GUARANTEED INCOME FOR LIFE
IT DOESN'T MATTER what your pay check is today. There's a Phoenix Mutual Retirement Income Plan to fit your needs - and your pocketbook.
Assuming you start early enough, you can arrange to get a check every month of anywhere from $10 to $200 or more - and you can have this income start at 55, 60, 65, or 70.
Send for the interesting, illustrated booklet which describes the popular Phoenix Mutual plan and tells how to qualify for it. We'll be glad to mail you a copy-without cost or obligation. Just write or phone-

OUT OF SIGHT! OUT OF MIND! OUT OF BUSINESS!
The importance of keeping firm and product names in the public eye is recognized by all business men. It is astonishing to see how a firm or prod- uct, 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.
CITY DIRECTORY USAGE SOARS TO NEW HIGH!
Post-wor relocation of millions in their permonent homes; reod- justment of business to normol conditions; the great new develop- ments in civilian life just over the horizon of the future-these and other things make City Directory listing a "must" for oll busi- ness people. Remember the huge upswing in City Directory usage.

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 *
