1reference advertising at its best, and as such, merits a survey by all buyers keen to prime themselves on sources of supply. The city's activities, in many interesting phases, are interestingly pictured to reveal what it has in its show window. In an ambitious and progressive community like Saginaw the need of this kind of information readily at hand is very great and frequently pressing. General appreciation of this fact is evidenced by the liberal patronage the City Directory enjoys in the many fields which it serves.
3THE ALPHABETICAL LIST OF NAMES of residents, business firms and corporations is included in pages 81 to 651.
5THE STREET AND AVENUE GUIDE AND DIRECTORY OF HOUSEHOLDERS covers pages 653 to 764. In this section the names of the streets and avenues are arranged in alphabetical order; the residences and business houses are arranged numerically under the names of each street and avenue, and the names of householders and business concerns are placed opposite the numbers.
7THE CLASSIFIED BUSINESS DIRECTORY is included in pages 765 to 857. This department lists the various manufacturing, mercantile and professional interests in alphabetical order under appropriate headings. This feature constitutes an invaluable and indispensable epitome of the business interests of the community. "The Directory is the common intermediary between Buyer and Seller." As such it plays no small part in the daily doings of the business world.
9MUNICIPAL PUBLICITY
11The Directory reflects the achievements and ambitions of the City, depicting in truthful terms what it has to offer as a place of residence, as a business location, as an industrial site, and as an educational center. To give emphasis to their desire to broadcast this information over the country, the publishers have placed copies of this issue of the Directory in Directory Libraries, which are maintained in all the larger cities of the country, where they are available for free public reference and serve as perpetual advertisements of Saginaw, for business men the country over realize that the City Directory represents the community as it really is.
13THE SAGINAW DIRECTORY LIBRARY
15There are over 400 of these Directory Libraries in the chain. One of them is maintained in the rooms of the Saginaw Board of Commerce. The publishers invite use of it by the public whenever in the need of information on other cities.
17The publishers acknowledge the patronage of those progressive business and professional men who have expressed their confidence in the City Directory as an advertising medium, with assurance that it will bring a commensurate return.
