FACTS !! ABOUT CITY DIRECTORY CIRCULATION


The true value of advertising circulation is circulation consulted-"User Cir- culation."


To be exact by actual survey in twenty-four average American cities by actual count each city Directory averaged three and one-half consulta- tions for each business day.


To be conservative we will eliminate the sixty Sundays and Holidays when no tests were made.


For every thousand Directories sold there is an average of three and one- half daily consultations for each book for three hundred and five days, therefore-


1000×312×305= 1,067,500


Consultations or "User Circulation"


The City Directory offers the most Specific Point of Contact advertising known

TRADE! You like


to patronize those concerns who are in business to stay.


It is natural to expect that such busi- ness establishments always stand back of what they sell.


The advertising in this Directory is suggestive of the stability and perman- ence of the advertisers.


Frauds, fakes, get-rich-quicks and other schemers have little use for directory advertising. It lives too long.


The modern City Directory is a busi- ness institution. It occupies a place peculiarly its own. It is as necessary to the progress and development of a city generally as anything naturally would be which deals with such a fundamental as the citizens themselves.


If you are not advertising your busi- ness in the Directory, may we explain how and why it will pay you?
