What is the correct entry for the directory place and directory year for this registry? The indexer has entered Oregon for the directory place and blank for the year.

The header tells us it is the Portland, Oregon Gazetteer and Business Directory for 1909-1910. The General Indexing Guidelines (in the Project Instructions) tell us to use the later year.

Thanks! That is what I thought about the directory place, but I did'nt know about using the later year for the directory year.
