Joseph Berberich Says Campaign ii
Advocacy of Truth Is Making
Remarkable Strides.

Another step in the promotion Of the
campaign against flake advertising" be-
ing waged BY the Ad Vigilance COM
mittee, an organization initiated by the
Retail Merchants Association, was taken
last night, when C. E. La Vignc, chief
of the Bureau Of Investigation of New
York newspaper. addressed the commit
tee at the Raleigh.
Mr.. La Vigne explained step by step
the gradual growth of the immense
bureau being operated to protect the
public against false advertising. He also
told of the methods OF investigation en-
ployed in the exposing of such advertis-
ing.
Advertising" he said, has become a
great national science, involving more
than 500, 10000 annually. Truthful adver-
Using is a serious problem because 1t az
fects both the merchant and tho public
vitality. The truth cannot be weighed,
either by pound, gallon, or scale, but real
honesty is the writing of words in such
a manner that they cannot possibly be
misconstTued."
Condemning the comparative price and
bargain day sales. Mr.. Ia Vigne asserted
Just so long as the buying public con-
tinues to lose its clothes and tear its
hair in the mad rush Of buying marked
up" clothing, Just so long will the trick
ster continue to ply his trade"
More than two hours were devoted by
Mr.. La Vigne in explaining to the men,
bers Of the committee the method of
exposing the various fake" advertis-
ing schemes that he has investigated.
At the conclusion Of his address he
was given standing vote OF thanks by
the committee.
Joseph Berberich, chairman Of the Ad
Vigilance Committee, presided Follow
ing the address of Mr.-La Vigne, he told
the committee that the campaign in
Washington has received such an i'm
petus and incentive from the address of
the principal speaker that no power can
stop the elimination Of fake" advertis-
ing.
Secretary Columbus told the members
that the false advertising bill pending in
Congress had passed the House and
would be passed within a few days by
the Senate, with additional amendments
covering several other conditions.
