NEW CITY DIRECTORY
B""k VIII Cover oil, upin and Thurston
and Mason Counties.

\ 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 pubica-
uon shows the progression or retro
4ressi0n of city so accurately as the
directory. 1t is the only complete in
1eX 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 di-
rectory.
Thousands of people are consulting
the Olympia, Thurston and Mason
county directories in the directory IL
braries throughout the country every
day. r. l.. Polk G. 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 list of all business firms
in the towns and villages of Thurston
and Mason counties, and all residents
paying taxes, also residents on the ru-
raj free delivery routes of the counties
the two counties.
They particularly call attention to
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 well, to
readily find information desired. The
information will be compiled in the
following order:
Advertising department.
Title page and index.
olympia CITY directory.
Thurston county sketch and county
officers.
Thurston county towns arranged al
alphabetically 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. (1)
following sketch, (2) rural route list,
and CO 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 names of all married women lin
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 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
