necF Of a censorship to halt the prac-
tice and avert protiteerinx propaganda
from victims among the patrons. Karl
Bioomingdnle. Philadelphia advertis-
ing expert. told members OF the At
lantic city Advertising Club last
night. Everyone Ii gIad to come to
Atlantic city. but this year everyone
is glad TO get away, due In part to
certain cafes charging prices al out

declared BloominKdnle. who was the
feature speaker Mt the monthly meet
Ing Of the organization.
Some places make a cover charge
of $3.50 before person has eaten.
Then they have schedules Of prices
that include such scale as $i.5o for
ginger ale. This reacts against the
resort, az a visitor who receives such
treatment spreads the profiteering
news all over the country. People
come to imagine 1t is n general thing
here and the town suffers.
.In the Poor Richard Club, OF phile-
delphia, we have what In called d
better business, sometimes called d
vigilance committee. It's job is to
check an advertiser who issues untrue
statements and to walt upon and urge
him to stop. If there Is no compliance
we see TO II that his advertisement
does not get into the newspapers.
That Is what is needed here. You can
take box of peaches with one rotten
one In II and in time 1t will turn the
whole box. why not take out the rot-
ten one. and prevent the others from
going the same way?'
