isfactorily. That is why 1t appeals so
strongly to the business men outside 4
of the big cities.
In Its educational department.
teachers in the public schools. the
club has surrounded itself with the
leading educators OF the northwest.
Its sources Of information particular
ly valuable to teachers are found in
the leading educational institutions
and educational bodies Of the country. IS
It's legal department. is Of great as
sistance to it's members. 1t helps
them to avoid difficulties and compli-
cations in many business propositions.
1t has done this in many instances
when the inquiring member was par
ticularly DESTROYS Of not being known
as making the Inquiry.
In no department Of it's work does
the club aim to be more or do more
than can be expected of the best
equipped bureau Of exact information
! in the country, such as the Public
| Service Club is. It does not represent
that it can do the impossible.
All Information Confidential.
Another point well to keep in mind
| is that all information given to a
member by the Public Service Club is
strictly confidential. Cancellation of
| the membership privilege follows any
violation Of this rule.
Every business man feels the need
of reliable and confidential Informs
ton. on various propositions during
| the year. He can secure that service
in many instances by paying a price
far beyond what the proposition will
| stand. Thorough investigation, the
| only avenue to exact information, is
expensive. The Public Service Club,
ders this service for a small fee. A
membership costs ten dollars per year
and places all departments of the club 3
at the disposal Of the member.
AS an institution the club is incor-
porated separate and distinct
from it's membership. The ten-dollar
fee is consequently the only liability
attached to a membership.
