LEDGER CENTRAL
IS A YEAR OLD TODAY
At its birth it was generally regarded as the "uptown office" of the Ledger. Today it is looked
upon as one of Philadelphia's foremost institutions. Day by day and week by week during the past twelve
months the public has more and more depended upon LEDGER CENTRAL to furnish prompt, accurate,
courteous service along constantly broadening lines. While the first conception of a centrally located office was
a convenient place to better accommodate our increasing Want Ad. patronage, it was soon found that Ledger
readers could be served in many other ways. So this "First Aid to the Public" has become an indispensable
service' station. How well it has fulfilled its purpose can best be appreciated by testing any one of its
departmentized activities.
A MO ST complete Travel and Resort Bureau, with many thousand kinds
of literature on Summer and Winter Resorts here and abroad. Time
" Tables and booklets from all railroad and steamship lines are at your
disposal. LEDGER CENTRAL'S Travel Expert will lay out an itinerary
to any place, either by rail, water or automobile, approximate the cost and
time required and furnish free literature.
An Educational Bureau that has been of great aid to perplexed parents and
pupils in the selection of the most suitable preparatory school or college.
Literature is on file from the leading schools throughout the East. Two
college men handle this work and have personally visited the majority of
the schools. A reliable, unbiased service.
General information queries on every conceivable subject are cheerfully and
quickly answered. A compact library of facts is instantly available for most
inquiries. Knowing "where to seek" and "whom to ask" enables the LEDGER
CENTRAL staff to settle many a controversy and many a doubt without
delay. Over 24,000 callers have used the Bureau with satisfaction during the
first year.
Probably you have noticed the displays of nationally advertised products in
the window at LEDGER CENTRAL. These displays are intended to inform
' the Philadelphia public of the merchandise of real merit that is being
'advertised in local newspapers and sold by worthy local retailers.
AN AID to those seeking a good position or good help is the Commercial
jT" Registry Bureau. Mr. Hunt, in the Men's Department, and Miss Dean,
in the Woman's Department, are constantly bringing the right em
ployer and the employee together. This is a service to LEDGER advertisers,
and, like all other features of the Bureau it's free.
And there's the Ledger Photo Service, with an up-to-date exhibit of photo
graphs and descriptions of homes that are for sale or for rent. Another
exhibit of apartments available furnished and unfurnished and good board
ing places. You will also find a display of plans of artistic suburban homes,
floor plans, elevations, cost to build, etc. LEDGER CENTRAL will tell you
of real estate brokers who specialize in the kind of property you want in
various locations.
Here is the" meeting place for those who seek a suitable place in which to
transact business. Four comfortable, secluded nooks, in addition to the wait
ing room, are provided, where you may read the current or back files of Phila
delphia newspapers and all Curtis publications. Stationery is provided for
correspondence and for convenience in answering Ledger Want Ads. Trav
elers' checks and postage stamps are on sale.
Public telephones in sound-proof booths are located conveniently for your
use. The demand for telephone service at this point is so great, LEDGER
CENTRAL has entered into contract with the Bell Telephone Company to
immediately install ten additional stations, with switchboard and operators.
