Common Sense About City Directory Circulation
THE TRUE VALUE of advertising circulation is circulation consulted.
TO BE EXACT by actual survey in twenty- four average American cities by actual count each City Directory averaged three and one- half consultations 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 will be an average of three and one- half consultations for each book for THREE HUNDRED and FIVE days, therefore 1000 x 31/2 x 305 = 1,067,500. CONSULTATIONS OR CIRCULATION CONSULTED

SUMMER DANGERS ...
INCLUDE THE FUEL OIL PROBLEMS OF RUST, DUST AND SUPPLY
Get too much sun this summer and you'll know it almost immediately. Neg- lect your fuel oil system now and you'll be unpleasantly surprised next winter!
The reason is that rust in your fuel oil tank .. dust in the heating system ... adequate supply ... are problems that should be solved during the sum- mer. If ignored, they can result in discomfort and unnecessary repairs next winter. You can guard against these problems by having us fill your tank with high quality Phillips 66 Fuel Oil now.
By filling your tank with Phillips 66 Fuel Oil, you protect it against cor- rosion and rust ... give us a chance to check your heating system ... assure yourself of an adequate supply for next winter. The cost? Because you buy ahead of the season, you save. Also, you can take advantage of our conven- ient credit terms to buy now and pay later.

CAUTION ....
Pay no money in advance to itinerant Di- rectory canvassers. We are led to mention this from the fact that certain parties have been fraudulently using our publications as speci- mens, and by that means collecting money in advance. Before signing an order, see that it has the name of the publisher of this City Direc- tory printed thereon. We ask no payment until the work is delivered, and our solicitors have strict orders not to take advance payment for either advertising or subscriptions.

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."
