THE CITY DIRECTORY
Do You Know What It Is?
Do you know it is the Best Barometer of a city's growth?
A most efficient time- saver? Contains informa- tion found in no other publication. The only medium that reaches all classes of people all the time?
Do you know wide- awake merchants adver- tise in the City Directory? Progressive men value it. The stranger consults it.
And the man who savs he does not need it, is generally the first one to borrow it.
