SPECIAL ADVERTISERS' DIRECTORY
What's In A Name ? Perhaps More Than You Think
It was the learned Paul who said that a good name is to be valued more than riches and 'twas no other man than the great Shakespeare who said, "Good name in man or woman is the immediate jewel of their souls." But these are deep thoughts of deep thinkers, briefly expressed in words and do not apply in an ordinary sense to names in their varied forms or the general usages to which they are put.
CAN NOT DO WITHOUT NAMES
Names are in vogne everywhere. The world would be a complete failure without names, for there would be confusion that would far surpass the tower of Babel incident. The world could not do business; nations and empires could not progress, for men could not communicate with each other and the lover's ardent appeals would be no more and the world bereft of love.
NEEDED IN EVERY RELATION OF LIFE
Hence the world cannot get along without names. The success of the educational world, the religious world, the social world, the commercial or business world, depends on names.
CAN NOT TRUST TO MEMORY
The time was when the ox cart was a satisfactory means of transporta- tion, but the dark ages are gone and the ox cart has given place to the Automobile and Railway trains. The time was when a successful business could be conducted in a 2x1 shanty made of pine logs, thatched with a birch roof; when window panes and plate glass were unknown. But all of this has given way to the modern store of glass front; brilliantly illuminated by in- candescent lamps. The time was when a man could figure up his accounts in his head or by making notches on a stick; but now is the day of the Adding machine. For now, the world is too large, too big for men to trust entirely to memory. Many a time a person wants to know where such and such a place of business is, or where such and such an article may be purchased, or where he can find the address of this or that person.
WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW
What do you tell them? What is your answer? Do you know yourself? These may be rather pertinent questions but they are things you should know, and the answer is easy, requires only three words.
THE CITY DIRECTORY
A valuable book you ask? Well, yes. We venture the assertion that outside of the Bible, there is no book in such general use as the City Directo- rv. Does every one use it? Well, no; there are some who can't and there are some who do not use it as they should, neither does everyone use the Bible but that is not our fault. We can not compel people to use the Directory any more than we can compel people to read the Bible. But we do not hesitate to tell every one what a good thing it is.
ARE YOU UP TO DATE
If you do not use the City Directory in your business-all we have to say is-wake up friend and get out of the rut, you may be doing very well but is this the limit of your ambition? Why not do better? Modernize your business by adopting modern methods.
THE CITY DIRECTORY IS ESSENTIAL TO EVERY BUSINESS MAN. DON'T BE CONTENT WITHOUT ONE.

SPECIAL ADVERTISERS' DIRECTORY
READ THIS
Advertising is what nothing was ever sold without. If a loaf of bread is sold to a tramp who managed to glom onto a jitney, it had been advertised by the tramp's hunger and by somebody who told the boob where the bakery was. Or by the window of the bakery itself. There isn't a human being who doesn't believe in advertising. If he really doesn't he had better commit suicide. And that will give him a lot of publieity that nobody ean cash in on. Even the fowls of the air and the beasts of the fields believe in advertising; the cackle of the hen proclaims to the world that she has produced another egg for the cold storage and the whine of the cat at midnight hours is a signal of distress. The man who claims not to believe in ad- vertising is a-well, you know what Ananias was. This boob is too anxious for everybody to tell other people that his place is a good one to trade. But ain't willing to give the advertiser anything for telling the other folks. He is, to use a modern term a something-for-nothing tightwad. The man who puts on good clothes advertises his own respectability, and expeets re- sults in the shape of the respect of others. The man who dresses poorly because of necessity or purposely, advertises his poverty and expects results in other people's help or contempt. The doctor claims it is unethical to advertise, but he wants the newspaper to mention every time he has a case. The same is true of the lawyer. In fact every honest person wants the right kind of advertising. Only dishonest persons are afraid of it, and they get it anyway.
TO GET GOOD ADVERTISING-TALK IT OVER WITH THE DIRECTORY MAN NEXT TIME HE IS IN YOUR TOWN.
