The Yellow Pagesrepresent reference advertising at its best, and merit the attention of all buyers and sellers seekingsources of supply or markets for goods. In a busy and diversified community the necessity ofhaving this kind of information up-to-date and always immediately available, is obvious.

The names of the intersecting streets appear at their respectivecrossing points on each street. Special features of this section are the designation of tenant­owned homes, the indication of telephone subscribers at homes and places of business, and thephone number if available.

V. THE NUMERICAL TELEPHONE LOCATER on green paper, is the fifth majordepartment. All available listed phones for the area covered in this directory are arranged byexchanges and under each exchange, in numerical order with the name of the phone holderindicated. Issued as a separate booklet.
