Eeattle, Jan. -Washington's first
complete cross index and ready refer
ence directory Of the States 1868
cities and towns is going to be compii-
ed and published by the Washington
State Chamber Of Commerce, 1t was
announced here today by Frank H.
Lamb. president Of the organization.
Information and data question:
mares have been sent to all local
chambers of commerce In the state to
obtain all essential data. 1t is believed
that all information will be In for
publication within the next thirty
days.
1--WE have for a long time realized
the necessity Of ready reference
directory on all Of our cities, towns
and villages and therefore have COM
pleted plans to make one available to
the business men of our State, Lamb
said.
1.-THE directory will carry information
concerning the transportation facil-
tiles, major industries, banks and
highways running through each city il,
the State.
Issuance Of the directory is part of
the State Chambers 1880 program OF

Or electric company advertising. They
would cheerfully deprive these indus
tries Of the right to advertise Mt all, IL
they dared to propose such q thing.
Meanwhile they SOW what suspicion
they can in the hopes that the util-
tiles will be discouraged from adyertis-
ing, and the publishers will be afraid to
solicit such business.
1t is common knowledge that the
lowest priced articles in respective
classes are tho ones most largely adj
vertised Whether It Is soap, shoes,
automobiles or gas, this is generally
true. Mass production of sales must
use advertising. Compare Che Chevro-
let and the Roils-Royce.
II there Is anything wrong, morally
or commercially about utilities COM
pany advertising today. 1t is simply It's
inadequacy In other words, there is
not enough OF 1t being done. The In
dustry can employ to advantage adj
vertising in its various ferns to a
much greater extent than is the case
ut present. If this were done the pace
OF development would be accelerated,
the maximum benefits Of gas and e..
lectricity brought to many additional
people in quicker time, and the vol
ume Of output built up so that the
price per unit Of service could be more
rapidly reduced.

The notion that advertising adds to
