3. Good Advertising-conforms to the generally accepted standards of good taste. It seeks public acceptance on the basis of the merits of the product or service advertised rather than by the disparagement of competing goods. It tries to avoid practices that are offensive or annoying.


4. Good Advertising-recognizes both its economic re- sponsibility to help reduce distribution costs and its social responsibility in serving the public interest.

SEASIDE


The City of Seaside is located on Clatsop Beach at the junction of the Necanikum and Wahanna Rivers, 85 miles west of Portland via the Sunset Highway. It is the terminus of the Spokane, Portland & Seattle Railway. Seaside is the most important beach resort in the Pacific Northwest on the Pacific Ocean. Seaside has a permanent population of 3,870 (1950 census) with as high as 20,000 during the summer months.


GEARHART


A Post Office on the Spokane, Portland & Seattle Rail- way; 15 miles southwest of Astoria, and 3 miles from Sea- side. Gearhart has a population of 565.


WARRENTON


The City of Warrenton, with a population of 2,000, is located in the northwest section of Clatsop County. The city was incorporated in 1899 and operates under the City Man- ager plan of government. The Skipanon River, a navigable stream, is used by ocean going vessels for the transportation of lumber and by local fishing fleets. The stream being located through the industrial district and directly con- nected to the Columbia insures a fishing industry and sea- going commerce to all industries requiring it. There is a complete grade and high school system as well as adequate churches. Railway freight transportation is by the Spokane, Portland & Seattle Railway.

Whatever information an auto owner puts on his license application appears on the new Polk official car owner registration list, now available to you. Every name on a Polk car owner list is "cleaned" ahead of time. Only names of persons to whom mail can be delivered are compiled for you. Polk Car Owner Lists are not "loaded" with extra names that would waste your time and money in sending out mail, or in making personal calls.


Success or failure of any direct mail advertising program depends on your keeping that list up to date.

Do your employers furnish you with the latest edition of the City Directory


?


You need it at your elbow at all times, to protect your company from forgers and bad-check artists. A few questions; checked against City Directory informa- tion, will trip them at once. Intelligent use of the City Directory for this purpose has saved thousands of dollars and helped make some cities "too sharp" for bad-check "operators."

Don't Contribute to Counterfeiters KNOW YOUR MONEY!


Don't Be Fooled by Forgers KNOW YOUR ENDORSERS?


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 por- traits.


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


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


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


COLORED SEAL


Counterfeit-Saw-tooth points around rim are usu- ally uneven, broken off.


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


SERIAL NUMBERS


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


Genuine Figures firmly and evenly printed, well spaced.


PAPER


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 scat- tered. 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 coun- terfeit.


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


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

The importance of keeping firm and product names in the public eye is recognized by all business men. It is astonishing to see how a firm or product, however meritorious, will slip into the limbo of the forgotten if not persistently advertised.


The City Directory is the natural medium for keep- ing a business or product name in the spotlight. Insist on being well represented in its pages.
