WHY A Buyers' Guide?
* It is customary to include a Buyers' Guide in the City Directory because:
It gives business firms the opportu- nity to elaborate upon a description of their products and services im- possible 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

Do your employers furnish you with the latest edition of the City Directory?
You need it at your elbow at all times, to protect your company from forgers and bad-check artists. A few ques- tions, checked against City Directory information, will trip them at once. Intelligent use of the City Directory for this purpose has saved thousands of dollars and helped make some cities "too sharp" for bad-check "operators."

I' IN ADDITION to names and addresses, your City Direc- tory contains much detailed information concerning the people of your community. In order to list this information certain symbols and designations have been developed which enable important statistics to be compressed into the smallest possible space. You will receive far greater benefits from your City Directory if you familiarize yourself with the symbols and what they stand for.
In checking credit applications, in conducting direct mail advertising programs, in planning sales campaigns, in build- ing prospect lines, and in scores of other ways your City Directory will prove of invaluable assistance.
