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 theron. 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.

Enduring Beauty
True beauty endures. The magnificent temples of ancient Greece are to this day regarded as masterpieces of architecture and design. A properly designed memorial has the same timeless quality. When executed in nature's most enduring monu- mental material it is not only a fitting tribute to memory but a work of art for posterity as well.
A memorial is one of the most important purchases you will ever make. Buy with confidence from an established dealer where service and satisfaction are assured.

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 questions, 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."
