and Mason Counties.
A great financier recently said
Show me your city directory and I'll
tell YOU what your city is, regardless
of what your Chamber of Commerce or
Booster club may say A greater
truth was never spoken. No publica-
ton shows the progression or retro
gressiOn of city so accurately as the
directory. 1t is the only complete in
deX to the city and its people today
and stands alone as the only authentic
record of the past. Every citizen
should take a special pride in being
properly represented in his city direc-
tory.
Thousands of people are consulting
the Olympia, Thurston and Mason
county directories in the directory lib
raries throughout the country every
day. r. l.. Polk & Co., are now making
their canvass for this directory, which
will contain an alphabetical list of the
business firms and private citizens of
! Olympia, Lacey, Little Rock, Rochester,
Shelton, Sherlock, Tenino and Tum-
water, and a list of all business firms
in the towns and villages of Thurston
paying taxes, also residents on the ru-
raj free delivery routes of the counties
and a complete business diectory of the
two counties.
They particularly call attention to
the new arrangement of the informa-
| ton to be contained in this directory
The advantages will be readily seen
| by those, who, through constant use,
are familiar with the general style and
makeup of the county directories
heretofore in use, and this new ar
rangement, they believe, will enable
| patrons, and the novice as we'll, to
readily find information desired. The
information will be compiled in the
following order:
Advertising department.

Olympia City directory.
Thurston county sketch and county
officers
ThurstOn county towns arranged al
| phabetically with the names in each
of the larger towns following sketch
of same. These lists include the names
taken from the county tax roll as we'll
as names of all people residing on rural
delivery routes, making the list for
each town complete in itself. Instead
of having three separate alphabetical
lists of names for each town, viz. "a
following sketch, ca rural route list,
and 90 tax list, you will find all the
names for each large town following
sketch of same, making one complete
alphabetical list for each town.
Mason county will be compiled the
same.
Thurston and Mason counties clas-
sified business directory will be COM
piled, first, by business, second, by
town, and third, by name.
| The figures after names will indicate
the assessed valuation of personal prop
erty as shown by the county tax roll.
Since the enfranchisement of women,
in this state, they will include the
given name of all married women Tin
parenthesis) following the husbands
name.
This will be the only work published
containing this information. The book
will be bound in old gold cloth en-
bossed in red and black, and will be
invaluable to our merchants for refer
ence, addressing and mailing purposes.
Can you, Mr.. Business Man, afford
to have the 1913 directory of your city
thrown broadcast throughout the city
and county at large without your
business displayed in a manner befit-
| ting your standing in the commercial
activities of Olympia? Write now
and make sure that your business or
profession is properly noted before it
is too late
