Where You ALWAYS Shop With Confidence


Shepard,


To Telephone Orders Call DExter 7500


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.

-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.
