FACTS !!

ABOUT CITY DIRECTORY CIRCULATION

The true value of advertising circulation is circulation consulted - "User Circulation."

To be exact by actual survey in twenty-four average American cities, by actual count, each City Directory averaged three and one-half consultations for each business day.

To be conservative we will eliminate the sixty Sundays and Holi- days when no tests were made.

For every thousand Directories sold there is an average of three and one-half daily consultations for each book for three hundred and five days, therefore -

1000 x 3} x 305 =1.067.500

Consultations or "User Circulation"

The City Directory offers the most Specific Point of Contact Advertising Known
