City Directory Don'ts
DON'T put your Directory in an out-of-the-way place, but keep it where your customers can see and use it without stopping some one to find it.
DON'T think that a Directory is paying for it- self unless you use it, any more than an idle clerk can make you money.
DON'T look mad when a customer asks to look at your Directory.
DON'T look happy when a neighbor wants to borrow your Directory, for if you do, he will borrow it again, and if all were borrowers, when would the next Directory be published?
DON'T forget that an up-to-date city must have a Directory; and a merchant that has no Directory is what?
DON'T forget that a Directory borrower to-day will forget to return it to-morrow and you will call him what?
DON'T forget that the man who has a Di- rectory pays for it and the borrower gets for nothing what another man pays for. What do you call him?
The EYE is seventeen times stronger than the EAR.
Research has proven that im- pressions received through the eye are seventeen times more effective than those received through the ear.
Your advertisement in the City Directory reaches the vision of your prospects all over the city 365 days in the year, because some one is using it every hour in the day.

Thus assuring you the ultimate service that skill and care can produce in the way of City Directories or other reference media.
The following "Standards of Practice," adopted at the inception of the Association of North American Directory Publishers in 1898, and strictly ad- hered 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 himself:
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
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 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 circulation, placing the test of refer- ence publicity upon its accessibility to seekers, rather than on the num- ber of copies sold.
8. To co-operate with approved organizations and individuals en- gaged in creative advertising 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.
