The importance of keeping firm and product names in the public eye is recognized by all business men. It is astonish- ing 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 product name in the spotlight. Insist on being well represented In Its pages
