WHY A YELLOW PAGE SECTION ?
*It is customary to include a Yellow Page Section 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 Yellow Page Section is a necessary supplement to the regular listings; it is good City Directory in- formation .. . EXTENDED.
