There are over 425 of these directory libraries in the United States. They are installed and maintained by the Association of North American Directory Publishers as part of the service given to directory advertisers.


Think what this means to you in effort, time and money saved. You want to know the relationship of the signer of a letter to the firm he represents -the directory library has the answer; someone you vitally need to get in touch with in a distant city has moved; business addresses or firm names have changed-the directory library has the answer. Public officials have been re- placed by new elections; location of real estate is desired-again the directory library holds the answer.


Of course you could write or phone for the data you desire, but maybe you don't know just who to approach-the directory library has the answer.


This service is free, for singlel reference, to the public.

INTRODUCTION


R. L. POLK & CO., publishers of the Astoria City and Clatsop County Directory, as well as more than 700 other city, county, state and national directories, present to subscribers and the general public, this, the 1936 edition of the Astoria and Clatsop County Directory.


Confidence in the growth of Astoria and Clatsop County's industry, population and wealth, and in the advancement of its civic and social activities, will be created as sections of this directory are consulted, for the directory is a mirror truly reflecting the community to the world.


The enviable position occupied by R. L. POLK & CO.'S directories in the estimation of the public throughout the country, has been estab- lished by rendering the best in directory service. With an unrivaled organization, and having the courteous and hearty co-operation of the business and professional men and residents, the publishers feel that the result of their labors will meet with the approval of every user, and that the Astoria and Clatsop County Directory will fulfill its mission as a source of authentic information pertaining to the city and county.


Population


The estimated population of the city of Astoria is 11,000, based on the number of individual names in the alphabetical section of the directory, with due allowance for children and for women whose names are not listed separately from those of their husbands. Territory immediately adjacent, which is part of the city, as far as business and social life are concerned, is included in the directory.


Six Major Departments


The several essential departments are arranged in the following order:


THE BUYERS' GUIDE, pages 17 to 36, printed on tinted paper, con- tains the advertisements of leading manufacturing, business and profes- sional interests of Astoria and Clatsop County. These pages will be found particularly interesting and instructive to substantial purchasing factors. The advertisements have been carefully grouped by depart- ments and are indexed under headings descriptive of the business repre- sented. This is reference advertising at its best, and, as such, merits a survey by all buyers eager to familiarize themselves with sources of supply. The community's activities in many interesting phases, are authentically pictured. In an ambitious and progressive community like Clatsop County, the necessity of having this kind of information imme- diately available, is very great, and frequently pressing. General appre- ciation of this fact is evidenced by the liberal support the city directory enjoys in the many fields which it serves.


THE ALPHABETICAL LIST OF NAMES of residents, business firms and corporations for Astoria is included in pages 39 to 178. A feature of this section is the inclusion of the wife's name in parenthesis fol-

(1936) R. L. POLK & CO.'S


lowing that of the husband. In pages 219 to 274 appears a directory of the smaller cities, towns and post offices of Clatsop County, arranged alpha- betically by towns.


THE ASTORIA DIRECTORY OF HOUSEHOLDERS, TENNANTS OF OFFICE BUILDINGS, AND OTHER BUSINESS PLACES AND STREET AND AVENUE GUIDE, pages 179 to 217.


THE CLASSIFIED BUSINESS DIRECTORY is included in pages 275 to 325. This department lists the various manufacturing mercantile and professional interests in alphabetical order under appropriate head- ings. This feature constitutes an invaluable and indispensable epitome of the business interests of the community. "The Directory is the common intermediary between Buyer and Seller." As such it plays no small part in the daily doings of the business world. "More goods are bought and sold through the Classified Business Directory than through any other medium."


THE CLATSOP COUNTY TAXPAYERS' DIRECTORY extends from page 326 to 331.


THE CLATSOP COUNTY RURAL ROUTES DIRECTORY, covering the routes served by the Astoria, Seaside and Warrenton post offices, is included in pages 332 to 338.


Community Publicity


The directory reflects the achievements and ambitions of the com- munity, depicting in truthful terms what it has to offer as a place of residence, as a business location, as an industrial site and as an educa- tional center. To broadcast this information the publishers have placed copies of this issue of the directory in Directory Libraries, where they are readily available for free public reference, and serve as perpetual and reliable advertisements of Astoria and Clatsop County, for business men, everywhere, realize that the city directory represents a community as it really is.


The Astoria Directory Library


Through the courtesy of the publishers of the Clatsop County Direc- tory a Directory Library is maintained in the offices of Astoria Chamber of Commerce, 245 14th, for free reference by the general public. This is one of more than 425 Directory Libraries installed in the chief cities of the U. S. and Canada by members of the Association of North American Directory Publishers, under whose supervision the system is operated.


The publishers appreciatively acknowledge the recognition by those progressive business and professional men who have demonstrated their confidence in the city directory as an advertising medium, with assurance that it will bring a commensurate return.
