According to Rothschild the re.
suits of these studies are an aid to
the merchants themselves and at
the same time tend to protect the
public. With certain national STAN
dards set on most kinds of sales
goods, conflict between these stan
dards and the local standards is
avoided through the advice Of the
bureau, he added.
1t was shown that in some In
stances imperfect or different goods
had become mixed with goods OF ma
tional reputation. The bureau shop
pers called these mistakes to the
merchants attentions and they in
turn remedied the situation.
The shoppers employed by the
bureau walk into a store and act as
anyone would who desired to make
q purchase. In the event that they
find something wrong they report
it to Rothschild who In turn asks
the store to cooperate.
The bureau has also asked Coz

that there will be no misrepresen-
tation. This has LED to high stan.
