Please! Do Not Lend Your CITY DIRECTORY
IT COSTS YOU MONEY-Every Time It Is Loaned
The practice of lending your City Directory, in a great measure, is re- sponsible for the increasing cost of Directory Service.
The reason is :-
There is a definite cost involved in the making of the DIRECTORY ot Your City.
THIS COST MUST BE ABSORBED BY THE SUBSCRIBERS-BE THEY ONE-OR BE THEY 1000.
If there were but ONE SUBSCRIBER to the CITY DIRECTORY-THE ONE SUBSCRIBER would of necessity have to absorb THE WHOLE COST. If there were 100 SUBSCRIBERS-each one would have to absorb 1/100th PART OF THE WHOLE COST.
If there were 1000 SUBSCRIBERS-each one would have to absorb 1/1000th PART OF THE WHOLE COST.
From which it is obvious that the GREATER the number of subscribers -the LESSER the cost to cach.
And
It is also obvious that the LESSER the number of subscribers-the GREATER the cost to each.
Every time you loan your City Directory the LESS NECESSITY THERE IS FOR THE BORROWER TO SUBSCRIBE FOR THE SERVICE
MORE BORROWERS result in FEWER SUBSCRIBERS which means IN- CREASED COST.

CHURCHES
THE APOSTOLIC FAITH
For more than 50 years the doors of the Apostolic Faith church which never takes a collection - have swung open to all classes, calors. and nationalities. The high, the law, the rich, the poor hear the funda- mental truths of the Bible pro. claimed by a corps of capable ministers. The Rev. R. Robert Craw- ford, General Overseer, is in charge.
JESUS. THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD
C
Campground, Tabernacle S. E. 52d Ave, and Duke St.
In the heart of downtown Portland, is a soul- saving station - the international headquarters of The Apostolic Faith. "Jesus, the Light of the World," the neon sign with the huge, man-made star above it, is a landmark in the city pointing countless thousands to the Savior who can solve their problems. The auditorium seats 1,200 per- sons. Weeknight services are held here.
Downtown Church & Offices. N. W. 6th Avenue and Burnside Street
To the offices on the main floor come letters from 200 foreign lands and islands of the sea. As many as 1,300 letters have been received in one day. Gospel literature is sent, in various lan- guages, to a mailing list of 75,000.
All Sunday services are held at the Tabernacle. This church, seating 2,500 persons, is situated in a peaceful ten-acre grove of towering fir trees. A beautiful lawn, an illuminated fountain, lily pools, ornamental shrubs, and lovely flowers make this spot one of Portland's loveliest gardens. An annual international campmeeting - convention is held here for three weeks in August.
The "Lower Light"
A 104-foot motor vessel, the "Lower Light," carries a crew of missionaries to remote communi- ties on Puget Sound and Alaskan waters, spread- ing the Good News of salvation and the warmth of Christian fellowship.
Apostolic Faith Concert Orchestra
A 60-piece concert orchestra and a four- manual pipe organ lead the congregational singing and furnish preludes and special con- certs.
The Apostolic Choristers (50 mixed voices) male quartets, and soloists provide inspira- tional singing.
SERVICES:
Come and Join in Worship
Sunday at 11 a.m. and 7:50 p.m. at the Tabernacle. Sunday School at 9:30 a.m. Weeknights, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday at 7:50 at the downtown church.

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 fargers and bad-check artists. A few questions, checked against City Directory informa- tion, 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."

Out of Sight . Out of Mind * Out of Business *
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.
