There are two kinds of Advertising
That which the Buyer seeks, and that which is thrust upon him.
Both are good
Display advertising suggests wants and creates desire. Of its tremendous power many present day successes bear witness.
Reference Advertising steps in when the desire has been created. It shows where the goods can be purchased and gives information that the buyer wants when he wants to buy.
A Connecting Link
The weakness of display advertising is that often a need is not realized until the ad that suggested it is misplaced or thrown away.
A shrewd buyer usually looks the field over before buying and where is so logical a place to look as in this book.
A Help to You
In your buying, use the lists in this book. If you see a name in heavy type it is because that concern thought enough of your possible business to make it easy for you to find them. If it says "See page - - ", you will find there information that will really help you.
Are You Covered?
Have you made it easy for buyers to find you, by putting a bold type listing under every heading where they might look for you or a competitor? Have you put information in the "Selling Section" that will really help a buyer, and point to you as the one who can serve him best?
If not, make a note to do it in the next edition, and let us tell you now how little it costs to be protected.

A PUBLIC SERVICE PUBLICATION
Few lines of Business have such a varied clientele as has the City Directory. It serves high and low, rich and poor, with equal im- partiality and with profit to all.
It answers the questions What? and Who? which arise in daily Business and fills a posi- tion occupied by no other publication under the sun. It is often used from its issue until it falls to pieces and seldom will you find one entirely discarded while its leaves cling to- gether. A publication which is used so uni- versally and whose life is so long, must appeal to every shrewd business man as a most de- sirable advertising medium.

Are They Used?
Two old books. The picture surely tells you that. They are dilapidated and thumb-worn, but here are the facts regarding their age.
One of these Directories has been used at the Information Window of the Statler Hotel, Boston for five months. The other has been for six weeks on the public stand in South Station Waiting Room, Boston.
Do people use the Directory, and do they read what advertisers in this book have to say about their products ?
Our picture gives you the answer.

-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 Association 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 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 de- partments.
3. To avoid confusing duplication of listings, endeavoring to classify every concern under the one heading that best describes it, and to treat addi- tional 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 standard- ize 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 in- tegrity.
6. To solicit subscriptions and ad- vertising solely upon the merits of the publications.
7. To avoid misrepresentation by statement or inference regarding circu- lation, placing the test of reference publicity upon its accessibility to seek- ers, rather than on the number of copies sold.
8. To co-operate with approved or- ganizations and individuals engaged in creative advertising work.
9. To avoid unfair competition.
10. To determine what is the high- est 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 any fraudulent or fake directories.
