You may be remembered a hundred years from now


It seems a long time in this era of change but it is a fact that the influence of our forefathers is often carried on for generations.


Especially in business and financial affairs is the record of the past liable to be of vast importance to the present.


· The silent testimony of old directories is often accepted by courts as valuable evidence and too much care cannot be taken by business men to insure that all such records are accurate and complete.


Unlike most other mediums for advertising, the Directory is kept on file in many law and public li- braries for years after its immediate usefulness as an address book has disappeared and it becomes a per- manent record of the firms and individuals listed therein.


A very small sum insures adequate representation from year to year and such record may prove of great service at some future date.

Insuring Maximum Coverage at Minimum Cost Is Now Available


City Directory Advertising lives as long as the book is current. It is readily at hand and can, through cross indexing of proper representa- tion, be made easy to find and fully informative. Any business-man, desirous of effectively registering a service or produce, in such a manner as will form a permanent advertisement, owes it to himself and his busi- ness to be thoroughly informed on City Directory Advertising.


Your City Directory is not alone a local medium. By a system of distribution through nearly 500 City Directory Libraries, your ad- vertisement takes on a national aspect. Send for descriptive Library Folder and Privilege Card.
