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."
