POWER OF ADVERTISING
The City Directory is the power that gen- erates information for the buyer that he may know who deals in the product he wishes to purchase. If your business is not classified properly, and a display advertisement ar- ranged to describe your business, how can you expect the buyer to trade with you!
ADVERTISING is the foundation upon which successful businesses are built. You must apply this to your own particular busi- ness.
ADVERTISING is the power of an idea mul- tiplied.

Remember more than one half of the money spent on advertising yearly goes for ads which are used for kindling purposes 48 hours after publication.
It is not so with A City Directory Ad
for they are bought to be used continuously throughout the entire year by the general public and business men alike.
Your ad is there on file, as in a ledger, indexed by the Classified Heading of the business in which you are engaged, and can be turned to immediately when wanted.
