3 What Makes this Card Catalog So Special? TILTED TAB GUIDES hove transparent cellulose acetate tabs tilted at a 45% angle for easy reading. Even when cards are slanted forward there is sufficient clearance under the tabs so catalog cards will not cling to the guides. At first glance this may look like an ordinary catalog drawer but close inspection shows you that reference can be made much faster and easier because of Gaylords' special tilted tab guides and printed guide headings. You will also find that many cards (those referred to most often) are protected with transparent, acetate covers. The cards are Gaylords Super-Quality 100% all new, white rag stock. Write TODAY for complete details and prices. PRINTED GUIDE HEADINGS fit the tilted tab guides, eliminating tiresome typing, and providing improved appearance. Four different sets, ranging from 250 headings to 5,400 headings, are available to meet your every requirement. CATALOG CARD PROTECTORS prevent soil marks, handling abuse and costly replacement of cards in "busy sections of catalog". Self-paying protectors are made of transparent acetate, easily and quickly slipped over cards. GAYLORD BROS., INC SYRACUSE, N. Y. STOCKTON, CAUF. "The house of prompt, friendly, personal service"
