Bricks Without Straw


In ancient times, we are told, the Israelites were forced to do their work without the proper materials. They did it-after a fash- ion-but at an enormous cost in time and labor. Labor was cheap in those days, how- ever, and their task masters had the power to insist upon the full quota being given in spite of limitations.


Now the labor market is high, yet, in many cases history repeats itself. We still often see business trying to get along without the proper tools or with antiquated equipment.


You can do business without the telephone; it is possible to get along without a typewriter; you may use a quill pen for your correspond- ence if you so desire; it is your privilege to be without insurance, or the latest directory. If you wish you may still use a mailing list that was old when grandfather was a boy.


If the results are not entirely satisfactory, it is up to you.


Some firms prate wisely of business efficiency and then lose time and money sending to wrong addresses culled from an out-of-date directory. Rather than spend the few dollars necessary to insure themselves being properly listed under all the headings applicable to their business, they run the risk of letting their com- petitor get their trade. They save the first cost and waste postage stamps by the gross.


Would you improve on old methods? Then phone or write at once for particulars to

There are two kinds of Advertising


That which the Buyer seeks, and that which is thrust upon him.


Both are good


Display advertising suggests wants and creates desire. Of its tremendous power many present day successes bear witness.


Reference Advertising steps in when the desire has been created. It shows where the goods can be purchased and gives information that the buyer wants when he wants to buy.


A Connecting Link


The weakness of display advertising is that often a need is not realized until the ad that suggested it is misplaced or thrown away.


A shrewd buyer usually looks the field over before buying and where is so logical a place to look as in this book.


A Help to You


In your buying, use the lists in this book. If you see a name in heavy type it is because that concern thought enough of your possible business to make it easy for you to find them. If it says "See page - - ", you will find there information that will really help you.


Are You Covered?


Have you made it easy for buyers to find you, by putting a bold type listing under every heading where they might look for you or a competitor? Have you put information in the "Selling Section" that will really help a buyer, and point to you as the one who can serve him best?


If not, make a note to do it in the next edition, and let us tell you now how little it costs to be protected.

-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 under 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 satisfactory 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 him- self:


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


2. To subscribe to and work for truth, honesty and accuracy in all departments.


3. To avoid confusing duplication of listings, 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 stand- ardize 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 busi- ness 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 conform to business integrity.


6. To solicit subscriptions and ad- vertising solely upon the merits of the publications.


7. To avoid misrepresentation by statement or inference regarding cir- culation, 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 organization and individuals engaged in creative advertising work.


9 To avoid unfair competition.


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


$100 Reward will be paid by the Association of North American Directory Publishers for the arrest and conviction of any person or persons engaged in the publishing, collecting or canvassing for any fraudulent or fake directories.
