We must be because we do it so much, both for business and pleasure. Business travel is important because so many of Canada's industries are finding markets outside their own backyard. We travel for pleasure because the climate is friendlier almost anywhere else. Either way, going somewhere is an adventure, frought with excitement and the thrill of the unknown. The unknown isn't all that thrilling. It can be downright dangerous. For the businessman plying his trade in foreign lands, lack of information can be deadly. Business trips are expensive and must be very successful to be worthwhile. For the vacationer, time is short, and preplann- ing can save a lot of time and aggravation. Travelling is adventurous, exciting and dangerous Research, is an important part of any trip. Finding out what is there, making appointments in advance, booking theatre tickets, and knowing whether it is realistic to want to get to three offices in the same day, by finding where they are in relation to each other. MAP IT OUT The first and obvious tool is a street - map of your destination. The second is not so well-known, but if you think about it, it is a valuable investment, especially Rosemary's Pantry WEDDING CAKES We make and decorate white, — etc., fruit cake, , artificial, and rent INGREDIENTS Cherries, Fruit Mix, Raisins; Nuts, Almond Jia}te, Almond Icing 41 ir WEDDING ORNAMENTS We have the newest in • Cake Tops_ Classic Glo Lighted Design and many more ...

This is a telephone directory for your destination. For the business traveller trying to open up a new territory, the directory will, even before you leave, give you a good idea of the competition you will face when you get there. Is it worth going at all? It isn't if the market is already saturated. Who would your major clients be? A long-distance call is cheaper than an airline ticket, and an appointment is far better than just arriving at the poten- tial client. What if the person you have to see is out of town? Some people feel that long-distance is expensive, but if you calculate the cost of a day out of town, you'll see that pre -planning is well worth it. THE BEST PLANNED HOLIDAY For the vacationer, the need is not so desperate because you've already decid- ed to go. Many of us travel, get to the hotel, and then grab a handful of pam- phlets. Then we spend a day getting oriented in the city and trying to figure out what is near to what, and whether we can see both in one day. If you have a directory in advance you can preplan. You could rent a car or a bicycle in ad- vance and have it waiting for you.You can have your first two days preplanned safely, and orient yourself while you are actually going somewhere, instead of wandering around. You might even be able to arrange for a couple of evenings of babysitting from an established firm. This is not an expensive approach. A Canadian directory outside of your region will cost you $15 to $25. A truly foreign directory will be in the neighbourhood of $30 to $50. It can save you far more than that. A foreign telephone directory, White or Yellow Pages, is available from your local directory publisher. You can find them in your local Yellow Pages listed under "Telephone Directories."
