The Association of North American Directory Publishers is composed of reputable City Directory Publishers, organized for the general ad- vancement of the Directory business. Any person, corporation or firm engaged in business as owner and publisher of a City Directory in the United States or Canada, who shall qualify as competent to gather in- formation and compile a City Directory and furnish satisfactory refer- ences, is eligible to membership.

The objects of the Association are:

First. The advancement of the Directory business and the improve- ment of Directories by the interchange of ideas and the exchange of ex- perienced employes.

Second. To provide protection to the public against fraudulent ad- vertising schemes which operate under the name of Directories, and to drive unprincipled promoters of the same out of business.

Third. To provide permanent and profitable employment to compe- tent, industrious and honest Directory canvassers and compilers.

Fourth. For the mutual protection and advancement of the estab- lished and prospective interests of all who may become members, by personal advice and assistance of members as may be mutually satis- factory, desirable or advisable, and by such other means as may, from time to time, be shown to be wise, proper and lawful.
