To Find a Product/Service
If you know the manufacturer/supplier(s), check the Display Advertisers’ Index for the page number of their ad. Each Buyers’ Guide section also features its own display advertiser index at the beginning of the section. To obtain more information from these advertisers, contact them directly using the information in their advertisement, flip to the Address Index, or refer to the Display Advertisers’ Index to find their website address.
If you do not know the manufacturer/supplier, consult the Master Product Index, which provides an alphabetical listing of the more than 1,500 products listed in the Buyers’ Guide. Turn to the page number indicated to the left of the product heading.
In the Buyers’ Guide sections, an alphabetical listing of manufacturers/suppliers appears under each product heading. Subcategories are broken out so you can quickly and easily locate the product you’re interested in. Companies listed in boldface type are display advertisers in this edition.
