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.
