Better Business Bureau
Wants to Know of
Unfair Tactics.
SCORE FAKE SCHEMES
Public Confidence Called
Greatest Business
Asset.

Women Of San Antonio were asked
to report TO the Better Business Blu
rcau any Misrepresentation, mislead-
ing statements or unfair dealings
which they encounter in published ad-
ycrtisemcnts or in shopping, by L. j.
TOmpkins, manager of the Better
Business Bureau. in an address deliv-
cred Thursday noon before the Sym
posia Group Of the WOman's Club.
The purposes of the Better Business
Bureau were explained by Mr.. Temp
Gins as being iCr the protection of
the honest merchant against unfair
competition and for the protection of
the public against untruthfui state
mCntS in advertising or selling.
There are now 80 Better business
Bureaus in the United States" Mr.,
Tompkins said, and number of
more being formed, covering almost
every section of the country. These
bureaus arc the Outgrowth Of the
Truth in Advertising movement
launched several years ago by the
national vigilance committee of the
Associated Advertising Clubs of the
World.
Confidence Best Asset
"public confidence is the greatest
asset of every honest merchant and
without public confidence he cannot
long remain in business. The pur-
pose of the bureau is 10 cooperate
with merchants 10 prevent unintCn-
tional Measurements to creep into
their advertising and selling. and 10
prevent INSCRIPTIONS merchants from
using these practices.
Mr.. Tompkins especially scored the
misuse of comparative prices in ad
vcrtising. showing how this one prac-
ticc alone destroys confidence in ad-
vcrtiSing.
Club women were asked 10 observe
the slogan of the Better Business Blu
reau movement in connection with
promotion SChemPs-"B Before you in
vest. investigate. :" He requested that
literature and letters seeking TO sell
stock of questionable character or mcr-
chandise of any kind by unrecOgni2cd
concerns be referred to the bureau for
investigation and a report.
Golden Rule in Business.
MANY thousands of dollars have
been invested by San Antonio peo-
pie in fraudulent promotion schemes
simply for lack of authoritative in
formation about them. Mr.. Tompkins
said. "Through the cooperation of
the national vigilance committee of
the Associated Advertising Clubs of
the World the Bureau can supply de
tailed information on very short no
tiCe."
The real function Of the Bureau in
all its departments is nothing more
or less than the application Of the
Golden Rule in business, Mr.. Temp
Inns said.
