Are They Used?
Two old books. The picture surely tells you that They are dilapidated and thumb-worn, but here are the facts regarding their age.
One of these Directories has been used at the Information Window of the Statler Hotel, Boston for five months. The other has been for six weeks on the public stand in South Station Waiting Room, Boston.
Do people use the Directory, and do they read what advertisers in this book have to say about their products ?
Our picture gives you the answer.
