Aurora St A Metropolitan service has been established by H.A. MANNING CO., Directory Publishers. These are official City Direc­ tories and may be consulted free for single reference by the gen­ eral public. Your local City Directory is also on file in Directory Libraries in other cities for free public use. Every City must have a Directory not only to give the names and addresses of its citizens, but also to give that character of pro­ gressiveness that would record the names of its people for his­ torical purposes. Everyone has forefathers, these forefathers have made the history of this country. Someday you will be the forefather and your descendants can visualize your life's work quicker through the registration in the Directory of your time than in any other way. THE BIOGRAPHICAL HISTORY OF THE MASSES IS CONTAINED IN THE CITY DIRECTORY AND NO OTHER PLACE. That stamps its importance to the family. To make your history, watch your directory registration to see that it accurately records your position in life from year to year. THE CIRCULATION OF THE CITY DIRECTORY EXTENDS TO EVERY CITIZEN OF THIS CITY. The Information Bu­ reaus of the City are for FREE public use and your merchant, banker, physician, dentist, hotel, restaurant and garage man expect that the masses of the people shall, without hesitation, ask for "a look at the City Directory."
