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 keeping a business or pro- duct name in the spotlight. Insist on being well represented in its pages ..

WHY A BUYERS' GUIDE?

IT IS CUSTOMARY TO INCLUDE A BUYERS' GUIDE IN THE CITY' DIRECTORY BECAUSE:

It gives business firms the opportunity to elaborate upon a description of their products and services impossible in the limited space of regular Alphabetical and Classified listings.

The Buyers' Guide is a necessary supplement to the regular listings; it is good City Directory information . . . EXTENDED
