It's called the Blue Book, any library has one for your
area. Welcome Wagons and the like buy them.
You can buy lists by address, sequential phone #'s, types of
services people order, etc.
A recent real-life example is this:
I ordered caller-id on my phone in Nov. I already have had
three direct mailings for security devices. It is assumed by
being a girl, and ordering caller ID I am in fear.
