City Directory Advertismgassures yon of results whenthe huyer is ready to huy.
Large eunounts are expended{uinually in newspaper, billboard, radio, and direct mailadvertising to create a desire forgoods. Response is not immediate. Many people want thegoods but are unable to buy atthe time. The effect of a greatportion of your advertising expenditure is lost.
City Directory advertising recovers this loss. It is there,where the buyer can find you,when he is ready to buy.
Your firm and its productsshould be prominently displayed.
Be sure your businessis represented in

receivers. Service is disrupted -when receivers are
not replaced properly after a call is completed, or

can prevent tying up equipment that could be used
for other calls.

CounterfeitersKNOW YOURMONEY!
Don't Be Fooledby
ForgersKNOW YOURENDORSERS!
The Government never redeems counterfeit money!
- 1. KNOW YOUR MONEY! Study the bills you receive so as tobecome familiar with the workmanship on them, especially in the portraits.
2. COA^ARE a suspected bill with a genuine of the same type anddenomination. Observe these things:
PORTRAIT Counterfeit—^Dull, smudgy, or unnaturally white.scratchy; oval background is dark,lines irregular and broken. Portraitmerges into the background.
Genuine—Stands out distinctly from the oval background. Eyes appear lifelike. Background is a fine screen of regular lines.
Counterfeit—Saw-tooth points around rim are usually uneven, broken off.
Genuine—Saw-tooth points around rim are even andsharp.
Counterfeit—^Poorly printed, badly spaced, unevenin appearance.
Genuine—^Figures firmly and evenly printed, wellspaced.
Counterfeit—Generally has no silk threads, but thesemay be imitated by very small redand blue ink lines.
Genuine—^Printed on distinctive paper in which verysmall red and blue silk threads are scattered. The silk threads are not alwaysnoticeable on bills that are badly soiledor worn.
3. RUBBING a bill on a piece of paper will not prove it is genuineor counterfeit; ink can be rubbed from good bills as well as bad ones.
4. CONSULT an experienced money-handler or police officer tomake sure, if you are still in doubt, whether a bill is genuine or counterfeit.
5. REMEMBER, NOT ALL STRANGERS ARE COUNTERFEITERS, BUT ALL COUNTERFEITERS ARE LIKELY TO BESTRANGERS.
