WHY A BUYERS' GUIDE?


"IT IS CUSTOMARY TO INCLUDE A BUYERS' GUIDE 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 Buyers' Guide is a necessary supplement to the regular listings; it is good City Directory information . . . EXTENDED *

Out of Sight! Out of Mind! Out of Business!


The importance of keeping firm and prod: uct names in the public eye is recognized by all business men. It is astonishing to see how a firm or product, however meritori- ous, will slip into the limbo of the forgotten if not persistently advertised.


The City Directory is the natural medium for keeping a business or product name in the spotlight. Insist on being well represented in its pages.

WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU NEED FUNERAL SERVICE


1. Choose a reliable sympathetic Funeral Director, in whom you can place Complete Confidence.


2. Bear in mind it is not what you pay, but what you receive that determines value. That is a vital point.


3. To avoid regrets later, discuss possible requirements before actual need. Many families are doing this today.


We should be glad to have you check these points against services we have made available to many in this community.


While our complete funeral services are priced in accordance with your requirements, it is possible to have the benefits of our experience and facilities for as little as $75.00.


We guarantee all materials and services to be exactly as represented.
