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 product, however meritorious, will slip into the limbo of the forgotten if not persistently advertised.
The City Directory is the natural medium for keep- ing a business or product name in the spotlight. Insist on being well represented in its pages.

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."

IF YOU ARE IN A
BUSINESS FOG
IN THE AFTERMATH OF WAR
Let the City Directory help guide you to reorientation. It is the natural key to things as they are after the great upheaval. A recent Directory will provide the basis by which business can obtain a new grip on markets and a new appraisal of prospects. Pre-war guides of nearly all kinds are deader than a dodo today. Business now enters a new era of great possibilities. The City Directory hews to the line without propaganda, and new editions of this service reveal the great physical changes that have come over cities and communities during the past five years.

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
