D ing stands a young
giant called Truth-a cham
Dion for the rights of every
reader of the advertising col
umns.
Among his stanch supporters
are the newspapers, the Asso-
ciated Advertising Clubs OF
the World, the advertising
agencies and all high-grade
merchants and manufacturers
who have pledged their integ-
rity to consumers through the
printed word,
His purposes are two-fold-
to protect the readers OF adj
vertising and to keep above re-
proach the names of reputable
advertisers-in other words,
TO make advertising live up to
its fairest promise, to make its
influence for uprightness felt
in even the smallest purchase,
and thus bring the realization
of it's helpfulness into the lives
o; every man and woman.
The methods used to insure
this end are very comprehen-
sive-very interesting.
HE National Vigilance
L Committee Of the Asso-
ciated Advertising Clubs is the
guardian of Truth-in-Adverti-
sing.
Its constant, untiring effort
has resulted in an organiza-
ton which is national in its
scope and activities-yes' in
ternational, for it not only
seeks to protect those at home,
but it avowedly acts to "Pro-
tect Americas Good Name =
abroad.
Through its twenty-eight
"Better Business Bureaus" the
National Vigilance Committee
hears complaints of unsustain-
ed claims. made by advertisers,
of overstatements as to the me-
rits Of goods, of questionable
practices to force quick sales,
of unfair comparisons, of I'M
truthful pictures, of misleading
statements-and the offenders
against good business ethics
are approached and asked to
cooperate to make Truth-in-
Advertising prevail.
In practically every instance
the fault is acknowledged and
a promise to adhere strictly to
the truth in text and pictures
is given. If misrepresentation
continues, however, other
methods are invoked to punish
the offender and protect the
public.
This short account of the
work to make Truth
the whole truth-the sole stan
dard OF advertising, is related
in order that the readers of adj
vertising may feel the security
to which such supervision en-
titles them.
No less active in their be-
half are the newspapers which
print the advertising, the ag-
encies which place advertising
and the merchants and manu-
facturers who have built their
business upon the truth of
their advertised statements.
ID FADING the advertising

1t is a pleasure because 1t
opens the door to what is beau
