A Few Dollars Spent For Directory Advertising Will Bring Results Worth While.
DIRECTORY ADVERTISING PAYS
The constant drop of water wears away the largest stone; The constant gnawing Towser masticates the toughest bone; The constant coming lover carries off the blushing maid; The constant advertiser is the man who gets the Trade.
A PERSISTENT ADVERTISER
One of the most persistent advertisers in the history of success was Rob- inson Crusoe.
He believed in advertising.
He knew what he wanted-a ship.
And he put up an ad for one.
He flung a shirt on a pole at the top of his island; that, in the language of the sea, was plain to every seafaring man.
.
The circulation was small and there was no other medium, but Crusoe kept it there despite the fact that he got no inquiries for a long time. He changed his copy-as one garment after an- ther was flapped out-and in the end got what he wanted, was happy, and his name and fame have come down through the ages.
The present-day merchant is much better off than Crusoe.
He Has The City Directory through which he can reach all the people, some of whom want his goods. Your chances of success are thousands to his one, but your chances of failure are the same as his.
Suppose Robinson Crusoe had taken down that signal after, say a year, and declared, "Advertis- ing doesn't pay," where would he and his story now be?
Put up your signal and keep it up. There will be a number of ships crusing around during the year 1916 that will be glad to call and take you off the island of Dull Business.
Crusoe advertised under dis- couraging circumstances. You have got a sure thing-The City Directory.
Mr. Manufacturer, Merchant (Wholesale and Retail) :
No other Publication in the world so thoroughly represents the commer- cial. social and private interests of your city as The City Directory. Repre- senting, as it does, every private citizen from the hovel to the mansion; every commercial, social, religious and educational institution and all other data pertaining to your city. it is beyond question. the most accurate and complete index to the city and its various interests in existence ..
The Directory is the dictionary to the city and the Piedmont Directory Co. intend that 1916 Directory shall be The Unabridged Edition. "The first aid to strangers and a standard remedy for homefolks," accurate, complete and up- to-date in every respect. Unusual prospects of profit (direct and indirect) and Civic Pride should influence every manufacturer and business man to have full representation in this Directory, and every well-governed home to have a copy of the latest Directory for the use and convenience of Strangers and visitors. "Know thyself" is sound medical advice; Know Your City is equally good busi- ness advice. Consult the Directory when you want to buy or sell and you will get the best of everything at the lowest price and help reduce the hight cost of living.
Mr. Manufacturer and Business Man-It's a fact that the Directory is your city's only standing representative to the world beyond your own gates and the only index to your city's growth and prosperity. Future Directories, by the exchange system. now in general use. will be placed in the Directory Libraries of the Principal Cities of The United States for the use of all who wish to consult its pages. A well-patronized city directory indicates a good city to locate in. Yours truly,
PIEDMONT DIRECTORY CO.Ernest H. Miller, Pres. and Genl Mngr.
ยท Facts worth while
Mr. Merchant
Your trade is not Limited to your Immediate Neighbor" hood.
THE DIRECTORY
Brings you in close touch with remote parts of the City.
Get Wise to These Facts It Will be Worth While
The Mechanic may be limited by his trade, and have to ham- mier along the same old line. But you have a wide field.
Take my advice
And Be Progressive
Increase your business by advertising. The up-to-date merchant never gets more busi- ness than he can handle.
Is this the height of your ambition?

Directory Advertising will bring satisfactory results. "A word to the wise should be sufficient."

A Traveling Salesman That's Always "On the Job"
The City Directory
Why?
There's a Reason
Because, just as the live wire which carries the current which turns the wheels of numerous industries, so does the City Di- rectory carry the Lights to the buyer seeking goods in your line.
Because. just as the magnetic needle points the way to the mariner, so does the Directory point the way which brings to- gether the Buyer and Seller.
Nuff Sed
Up-to-Date Methods
In this Progressive Age the City Directory is found on the Busy Man's desk.
Because he is wise to its true value, the cost of about a penny a day means to him the Saving of Dollars.
When writing advertisers mention the directory.
BUSINESS IS GOOD IN ASHEVILLE
"Where Nothing Knocks But Opportunity"
The Man of the Hour
The Man of the Hour is the man with an open mind who places a fair and dispassionate estimate on the opinions and efforts of others.
The Man of the Hour is the man who gives prime recognition to all things that make for the common welfare of his community. The man who determines his course solely by how it may affect his per- sonal interest is incapable of leadership and is of little or no value to his community.
The Man of the Hour is the man with a willingness to serve, and who finds pleasure and joy in the shoulder-touch with neighbors for the common good. Acquaintances thus formed, cemented by partner- ship successes and failures, yield bountiful returns.
The Man of the Hour is the man who displays a forgetfulness of self and selfish interests and who is gencrous in thought and decd. The man who complains that his work for the public welfare is not appreciated magnifies his own thoughts and acts, and has lost much of the joy of service.
The Man of the Hour is the man who believes in his fellowman. who believes in and works for the development of his community and its opportunities. The man who constantly takes from his community and accepts benefits derived from the efforts of others, without giving back something to the community or adding to the constructive efforts of others, is like the farmer who constantly takes from the soil but gives nothing back to the soil-productivity ceases, regardless of effort.
The Man of the Hour is the man who will confidently and surely lead others into the light of the great truth that "If any man desire to be first, the same shall be the willing servant of all." His rule and guide of life is "helpful service."
The Man of. the Hour? Asheville has many of them. which ac- counts for the continued steady progress and prosperity of Asheville, the Mountain Metropolis of the High Altitude Area of Eastern Amer- ica, the distributing center for the Appalachian National Park.
