The Sign over your door
tells the passer-by that you are there ready to serve him But you also want to tell people, in all parts of the community, where you are and what you do.
Thesignisonly seen, however, by the small portion of the population who pass your way. Being fixed, it cannot reach out and tell some- body, a good prospect, on the other side of town about your business,
But
Your Directory Advertising
is before the entire community
It directs buyers from all parts of the community to your business and to any particular service which they may require. The advertisers stand out as the leading and permanently progressive firms of the community. You should make it easy for people to find you by putting in the directory such information as a buyer wants to know. For FREE suggestions on how to make your advertising most effective write-
