Out of Sight - Out of Mind
*   Out of Business   *

The importance of keeping firm and product names in the public eye is recognized by all business men. It is astonishing 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.
