CALLS ADVERTISERS
TO MASS Meeting
Better Business Bureau Wants Dis
cussion of Increased
Activities.

Plans are to be made for a mass
meeting of all advertisers. to be held
here next month to discuss the activ
tiles of the Better Business Bureau,
together with the matter of an en-
Iargement of it's scope.
The following committee of the bu-
reau is handling the preparations: II.
II. Levi, chairman; r.. l.. Mckeever,
Isaac Behrend, Howard NJ Cool, Will
liam Galliher. c. H. Woodward, and
1. l.. Goldheim,
According to a report presented to
the committee last evening by How
ard NJ Cool, director of the bureau.
Investigations in Washington show
that local advertising is much clean
er than in many other cities. From
July 20 to October 5, 345 investiga
tions of questionable merchandise
advertisements were made and errors
were found in only 112, while 1872
were found to be correct.
"A1l Investigations show that the
great majority of retail advertising
is truthful according to Mr.. Cool.
1T is unfortunate, but true, that
when the public is disappointed in
one retail advertisement. the conf
dence is undermined in all retail adj
vertising." 1t is therefore necessary
to the Better Business Bureau. to in
SiSt upon cooperation from all retail
advertisers and to encourage the over
statements within the boundary of
integrity and conservatism.
The statistical report together with
a general survey of merchandise ac-
tivities is now being sent to men,
bers of the bureau.
