H. B. 104-Fellinger OF Cuyahoga---
Provides for the punishment of per-
sons who cause misleading or decep-
tive advertisements to be published
or disseminated. Does not put the re-
sponsibility upon newspapers for false
ads contained in them, but on the ad-
vertiser himself. 1t does not punish
a person making false statements
about another's goods, but only per-
sons making false statements regard
ing goods which they are offering to
| the public. The bill is intended to
supplement existing legislation, so as
to make it less difficult to punish
those who ensnare the public through
fake medical ads, fraudulent stock
propositions, fy-by night real estate
schemes, fake bankruptcy sales, etc.,
and makes possible the punishment
of the crooked advertiser before he
defrauds the public instead of after,
and without bringing the defrauded
person who because of ignorance gen.
orally does not know his rights, and
in any event is hard to find, into
court.
