ADVERTISING CRAFTERs

A NAN charged with having worked a fake advertising scheme was
N arrested in Albuquerque last week and taken to Ration for trial
- ON a charge of obtaining money under false pretenses. II he is
guilty IL il the case of the exception that is caught The vast major
ify Of the advertising grafters ge free. They have Just enough basis
for taking money from the public TO permit them to escape d charge
of criminal fraud
During the past three months Albuquerque has been raided by an
unusual number Of these easy money lfters. Many other avenues 10
money without work have been closed, and as is usually the ease
when times are tight" large numbers of the fraternity Of petty
thieves tarn 10 the advertising graft, as they frankly describe il
among themselves.
These advertising Rrafters do not interfere greatly with the le
gihmate advertising media, such as newspapers and bill boards
They generally stay as far away as they can from those having to do
with legitimate advertising. But they DO take a large amount OF
money from the unsuspecting and thus they hurt those media of dem
onstrated usefulness; by putting into their pockets money that would
otherwise go into useful and productive advertising, and by dscred-
iting advertising because the fake schemes, as a matter of course,
never get any results.
1t seems that something might be done in Albuquerque to protect
merchants from these ifters of easy money. II would seem just that
the several newspapers and printing plants which maintain large and
expensive organizations and pay big payrols should be protected
from the competition Of a kind of graft that borders ON theft and that
Frequently crosses the line. Newspapers and printing plants pay an
occupation tax. The itinerant advertising CRATER should at least be
required TO meet the same condition and 10 pass some kind of official
scrutiny for his scheme before being turned loose upon the community
II the city commissioner are interested in the subject of proyid'
ing this protection for local business they can easily obtain complete
information upon the subject from those who have paid over good
money for space IN publications that do not exist in directories that
never had a chance Of being printed; and in various other aluring
schemes the one and only object of which has been TO provide an easy
living for soft spoken gentry until such time as the market for fake
oil stock comes back.
