PUBLISHERS


Thus assuring you the ultimate service that skill and care can produce in the way of City Directories or other reference media, and providing protection against fraudulent advertising schemes which operate un- der the name of Directories.


The following "Standards of Practice," adopted at the inception of the Association of North American Directory Publishers in 1898, and strictly adhered to over the years, is your guarantee of satisfac- tory Directory Service.


The publisher of a Directory should dedicate his best efforts to the cause of business uplift and social service, and to this end pledges himself.


1. To consider, first, the interest of the user of the book.


2. To subscribe to and work for truth, hon- esty and accuracy in all departments.


3. To avoid confusing duplication of list- ings, endeavoring to classify every concern under the one heading that best describes it, and to treat additional listings as advertising, to be charged for at regular rates.


4. To increase public knowledge of what Directories contain; to study public needs and make Directories to supply them; to revise and standardize methods and classifications, so that what is wanted may be most easily found, and the Directory be made to serve its fullest


use as a business and social reference book and director of buyer and seller.


5. To decline any advertisement which has a tendency to mislead or which does not con- form to business integrity.


6. To solicit subscriptions and advertising solely upon the merits of the publications.


7. To avoid misrepresentation by statement or inference regarding circulation, placing the test of reference publicity upon its accessibility to seekers, rather than on the number of copies sold.


8. To co-operate with approved organiza- tions and individuals engaged in creative ad- vertising work.


9. To avoid unfair competition.


10. To determine what is the highest and largest function of Directories in public service, and then to strive in every legitimate way to promote that function.
