It is also obvious that the LESSER the number of subscribers-the GREATER the cost to each.
Every time you loan your City Directory the LESS NECESSITY THERE IS FOR THE BORROWER TO SUBSCRIBE FOR THE SERVICE.
MORE BORROWERS result in FEWER SUBSCRIBERS which means IN- CREASED COST.

The importance of keeping firm and product names in the public eye is recognized by all business men. It is astonishing to see how a firm or prod- uct, however meritorious, will slip into the limbo of the forgotten if not persistently advertised.
The City Directory is me natural medium for keeping a business or product name in the spotlight. Insist on being well represented in its pages.

Pay no money in advance to itinerant Directory Canvassers.

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.
