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:
91. INTRODUCTION AND MISCELLANEOUS
102. CLASSIFIED BUYERS' GUIDE
113. ALPHABETICAL SECTION
124. HOUSEHOLDERS' AND STREET GUIDE
14(Particular attention is called to the arrangement of sections as above.)
16We 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.
