THIS DIRECTORY Represents the City and Its Business Interests ARE YOU PROPERLY LISTED ?


TRADE! You Like


to patronize those concerns who are in business to stay.


It's human to expect that such business estab- lishments always stand back of the wares they sell.


The advertising in this Directory is suggestive of the stability and permanency of the adver- tisers.


Frauds, fakes, get-rich-quicks and other schemers have little use for directory adver- tising. It lives too long.


The modern City Directory is a business insti- tution. It occupies a place peculiarly its own.


It is as necessary to the progress and develop- ment of a city generally as anything naturally would be which deals with such a fundamental as the citizens themselves.


If you are not advertising your business in the Directory, may we explain how and why it will pay you?

Every Wasted Minute


Costs You Money


Whether it's your time or that of an inexpensive clerk that is wasted by using an out of date DIREC- TORY, the loss is yours.


In the course of a year the time wasted usually costs far more than the price of a new DIRECTORY.


Misdirected parcels or messages cause expense and annoyance.


Cut out this leak. Order a new DIRECTORY at once. It will pay you bigger dividends for the money invested than you realize.
