Citizens Condemn Fake Adver-

Sales.

The man who misrerresents his wares
in advertisements came in for the most
severe condemnation from the members
of the Mid City Citizens Associations
last night at the regular meeting of
that organization, and President Andrew
J. Driscoll was appointed to serve on
the ad-vigilance committee Of the Retail
Merchants Association.
The matter of false advertising, fake
auction sales and fly-by-night merchan-
dising was brought to the attention of
the organization by Joseph Bcrberich.
MIR. BerbeIiCh said that merchants who
have any regard for the value of their
business have recognized the poor
policy OF msrepreSentng goods in aS-
vcrtisements for many years. No self
respecting merchant will think of do
ing such a thing. The man who has no
such scruples. he said. takes ADVANTAGE
of the honest merchants honesty by
false advertising as well as promoting
fraud on the purchasing public.
Mr.. Bcrbcrich called attention 10 the
work that was being done by the Retail
Merchants Association and of the law
proposed to govern such things in tfe
District. On the motion OF John -
