DO YOUR EMPLOYERS FURNISH YOU WITH THE LATEST EDITION OF THE CITY DIRECTORY?
You need it at your elbow at all times, to protect your company from forgers and bad-check artists. A few questions, checked against City Directory informa- tion, will trip them at once. Intelligent use of the City Directory for this purpose has saved thousands of dollars and helped make some cities "too sharp" for bad-check "operators."

FOG
In the Aftermath of War
Let Let the City Directory help guide you to reorientation. It is the natural key to things as they are after the great upheaval. A re- cent Directory will provide the basis by which business can obtain a new grip on markets and a new appraisal of prospects. Pre-war guides of nearly all kinds are deader than a dodo today. Business now enters a new era of great possibilities. The City Directory hews to the line without propa- ganda, and new editions of this service re- veal the great physical changes that have come over cities and communities during the past five years.

POST-WAR PLANS *
The average market is nothing like it was at the outbreak of the war. The extent of change has been tremendous. Use the new City Directory to re- analyze the city-to see what it has gained and lost -to check the movements and trends-to secure a record of the vast army of removals-to organize for merchandising new products and services.
The CITY DIRECTORY is an Unbiased Picture that Tells a Story
