FACTS !!

ABOUT CITY DIRECTORY CIRCULATION

The true value of advertising circulation is circulation consulted - "User Circulation."

To be exact by actual survey in twenty-four average American cities, by actual count, each city Directory averaged three and one-half consultations for each business day.

To be conservative we will eliminate the sixty Sundays and Holi- days when no tests were made.

For every thousand Directories sold there is an average of three and one-half daily consultations for each book for three hundred and five days, therefore -

1000 x 3} x 305 =1,067,500

Consultations or "User Circulation"

LISHERS

-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 Asso- ciation 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 the cause of business uplift and so- cial service, and to this end pledges himself:

1. To consider, first, the interest should dedicate his best efforts to of the user of the book.

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

3. To avoid confusing duplica- · tion of listings, endeavoring to classify every concern under the one heading that best describes it, and to treat additional listings as adver- tising, 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 advertising 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.

$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 anv fraudulent or fake directories.
