Don't Contribute to Counterfeiters KNOW YOUR ENDORSERS!

Don't Be Fooled by Forgers KNOW YOUR MONEY!

The Government Never Redeems Counterfeit Money!

1. KNOW YOUR MONEY! Study the bills you receive so as to become familiar with the workmanship on them, especially in the portraits.

2. COMPARE a suspected bill with a genuine of the same type and denomination. Observe these things:

PORTRAIT Counterfeit-Dull, smudgy, or unnaturally white, scrat- chy; oval background is dark, lines irregular and broken. Portrait merges into the back- ground.

Genuine-Stands out distinctly from the oval back- ground. Eyes appear lifelike. Background is a fine screen of regular lines.

COLORED SEAL Counterfeit-Saw-tooth points around rim are usually uneven, broken off.

Genuine-Saw-tooth points around rim are even and sharp.

SERIAL Counterfeit-Poorly printed, badly spaced, uneven in NUMBER appearance.

PAPER

Genuine-Figures firmly and evenly printed, well spaced. Counterfeit-Generally has no silk threads, but these may be imitated by very small red and blue ink lines.

Genuine-Printed on distinctive paper in which very small red and blue silk threads are scattered. The silk threads are not always noticeable on bills that are badly soiled or worn.

3. RUBBING a bill on a piece of paper will not prove it is genuine or counterfeit; ink can be rubbed from good bills as well as bad ones. 4. CONSULT an experienced money-handler or police officer to make sure, if you are still in doubt, whether a bill is genuine or counterfeit.

5. REMEMBER, NOT ALL STRANGERS ARE COUNTERFEITERS, BUT ALL COUNTERFEITERS ARE LIKELY TO BE STRANGERS.

This information is reprinted from the U. S. Secret Service 32-page hooklet, "KNOW YOUR MONEY," which tells how to detect counterfeit coins and hills and how to guard against losses from forged Government checks. Copies may he purchased for 10c each, or $7.50 per 100 from the Superintendent of Docu- ments, Government Printing Office, Washington, D. C.

-thus assuring you the " - mate service that skill and care can produce in the way of City Directories or other reference media, and providing pro- tection 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 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 head- ing that best _escribes it, and to treat additional listings as advertis- ing, to be charged for at regular rates.

4. To increase public knowledge of what Directories contain; to study public needs and make Direc- tories to supply them, to revise and standardize methods and classifica- tions, so that what is wanted may be most easily found, and the Direc- tory 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 organization and individual- 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 .hat .unction.
