The Association of North American Directory Publishers is composed
of reputable City Directory Publishers, organized for the general ad-
vancement of the Directory business. Any person, corporation or firm
engaged in business as owner and publisher of a City Directory in the
United States or Canada, who shall qualify as competent to gather in-
formation and compile a City Directory and furnish satisfactory refer-
ences, is eligible to membership.
The objects of the Association are:
First. The advancement of the Directory business and the improve-
ment of Directories by the interchange of ideas and the exchange of ex-
perienced employes.
Second. To provide protection to the public against fraudulent ad-
vertising schemes which operate under the name of Directories, and to
drive unprincipled promoters of the same out of business.
Third. To provide permanent and profitable employment to compe-
tent, industrious and honest Directory canvassers and compilers.
Fourth. For the mutual protection and advancement of the estab-
lished and prospective interests of all who may become members, by
personal advice and assistance of members as may be mutually satis-
factory, desirable or advisable, and by such other means as may, from
time to time, be shown to be wise, proper and lawful.
$100.00 REWARD will be paid by the Association for the arrest and
conviction of any person or persons engaged in publishing, collecting or
canvassing for any fraudulent or "fake" Directory.
