If You Are in a BUSINESS FOG
In the Let the City Directory help guide you to reorientation. It is the natu- ral key to things as they are after the great upheaval. A recent Direc- Aftermath of War tory 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 propaganda, and new editions of this service reveal the great physical changes that have come over cities and communities during the past five years.

Out of Sight! . Out of Mind! . Out of Business!
The importance of keeping firm and product names in the public eye is recognized by all business men. It is astonishing to see how a firm or product, however meritorious, will slip into the limbo of the forgotten if not persistently advertised.
The City Directory is the natural medium for keeping a business or pro- duct name in the spotlight. Insist on being well represented in its pages.
