A PUBLIC SERVICE PUBLICATION
Few lines of Business have such a varied clientele as has the City Directory. It serves high and low, rich and poor, with equal im- partiality and with profit to all.
It answers the questions What? and Who? which arise in daily Business and fills a posi- tion occupied by no other publication under the sun. It is often used from its issue until it falls to pieces and seldom will you find one entirely discarded while its leaves cling to- gether. A publication which is used so uni- versally and whose life is so long, must appeal to every shrewd business man as a most de- sirable advertising medium.
