The following "Standards of Practice," adopted at the inception of the Association of North American Directory Publishers in 1898, and strictly ad- hered 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 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 advertising, 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 Directory be made to serve its ful-
lest 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 ref- erence publicity upon its accessibil- ity to seekers, rather than on the number 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.

The Better Business Bureau of Seattle, Inc. ESTABLISHED 1920"
The Better Business Bureau acts as a neutral agency and does for legitimate business what legitimate business cannot do for itself.
It renders a definite and constructive service to honest business; it builds and protects the good will of private community business and in- creases the cash drawer value of all advertising.
It increases public confidence in advertising and business and educates the public to an un- derstanding of what honest business means.
It prevents deception in advertising and mer- chandising and corrects wrong practices.
It combats unfair competition and thereby helps keep the selling efforts in constructive business channels.

T HE objects of the SEATTLE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE are to foster, promote and advance by every honorable means the trade and welfare of the city of Seattle and to promote the growth and development of the State of Washington, the territory of Alaska and the Pacific Northwest. Any responsible individual, a resident of or actively engaged in business in Seattle or King County, is eligible to membership upon the recommendation of one or more members in good standing.
The Chamber of Commerce is conducted in a democratic man- ner, and its plans, policies, and action represent the majority opinion of the member- ship, which annually votes on the candidates for president, three vice-presidents, a treas- urer and a board of trustees of 81 members, of which 17 are elected each year.
The president, the vice-presidents and the executive vice-president are the executive officers responsible for carrying out the plans and policies of the Chamber, as formulated by the members and board, and they have supervision over the activities of the staff.
No officer of the Chamber, except executive vice-president, receives remuneration. They devote their time and money as a matter of civic duty.
The work of the Chamber is carried on by standing and special committees, com- posed of members of the Chamber. These standing committees include:
Adjustments, Alaska, Aviation, Banking and Insurance, City Affairs, Convention, Community Council, District Organizations, Domestic Trade, Educational, Finance, Foreign Trade, Hospitality, House, Industrial, Legislative, Labor Relations, Membership, Military Affairs, National Affairs, Naval Affairs, Publicity, Public Carriers, Public Health, Retail Trade, Sales Managers, Speakers, State Development, Taxation, Tourist, and Transportation.
The Chamber of Commerce is the central civic body to which the people of the community look for business and civic leadership. It seeks the cooperation of other organizations interested in the building of the city and appeals for a full measure of support from the community in view of this responsibility. The organization has a definite and specific program which it endeavors to accomplish; tangible, constructive activities to the promotion of which it marshals its man power and resources.
The public rooms include an auditorium, opening on a foyer and balcony, with a stage and necessary accessories, including a motion picture projection room, and facili- ties for radio broadcasting. The auditorium seats 420 persons.
The third floor is devoted to the Chamber executive offices, working quarters of all departments, and committee rooms.
The fourth floor is devoted entirely to the Chamber's dining room facilities, and a comfortable lounge. These facilities include a large banquet hall, where the Members' Council and other large meetings of the Chamber are held, and six smaller dining rooms for the use of committees and other civic organizations which make their headquarters or hold their meetings in the building.
The banquet hall has a seating capacity of 700, while the smaller rooms, separated by folding doors can accommodate an additional 200. Check and rest rooms are adjoining.
