11BUYERS' GUIDE (page 37)—Advertisements of leading houses in all lines where more information than is possible to give under the headings, is placed on file for Buyers' Reference, the value of which department cannot be over estimated. It is an index to the best interests of the city, and stands for them and the city in reference libraries all over the country as well as on the desks of progressive business men. It is accessible to everybody and the logical place to look for specific information. This probably explains why no other form of publicity is so generally endorsed by business men as a glance at this department will show.
13ALPHABETICAL SECTION—Plainfield (page 57), Westfield (page 603), Scotch Plains (page 843), Fanwood (page 877), Dunellen (page 771), gives names, occupations and addresses of all men twenty years old or over, together with wife's name where married, also widows with given name of husband. Full copartnership and corporation information is contained in this department, together with complete business and professional information. Names in large type are those who realize the value of placing themselves where they may be speedily and conveniently found.
15STREET and AVENUE GUIDE, Plainfield (page 36), Westfield (page 597), Scotch Plains (page 839), Fanwood (page 875), Dunellen (page 769), showing all streets and avenues with starting point and intersections, enabling one to tell at once between what streets a given number lies, consequently the quickest way to get there.
17CLASSIFIED BUSINESS DIRECTORY (page 891). All business houses, individuals in business for themselves, and professional men are listed without charge under the heading that best describes them. The more progressive houses, realizing that it pays to be easily found, pay a nominal charge for special listings in heavy type, under every heading where a buyer might look for them, cross indexed to a descriptive space in the Buyers' Guide. More goods are bought and sold through classified Directories than through any other medium.
