1HOW TO USE YOUR CITY DIRECTORY
3The new and improved Toronto City Directory is the most complete and comprehensive catalogue ever published of the inhabitants, business concerns and institutions of the city.
5The revised form and new features exemplify the efforts of the Publishers to add to the utility and value of the Directory to its daily users and to make it an even more worthy representative of an outstanding city.
7The major sections in the City Directory are arranged in the following order for ready reference:
81. INTRODUCTION AND MISCELLANEOUS
92. CLASSIFIED BUYERS' GUIDE
10 Particular attention is called to the arrangement of sections as above. The Classified Buyers' Guide is printed on distinctive Canary Yellow paper. Instant identification and ease of reference is thereby facilitated.
113. ALPHABETICAL SECTION
124. HOUSEHOLDERS' AND STREET GUIDE
14We believe that the following list of typical questions, many of which the Directory will be daily called upon to answer, will serve to indicate both the types of information available and the sections in which it may be readily located.
