| from your investment did not com,
up to your hopes. Who would vo,
blame for your own mistake? WHY tn,
| Better Business Bureau of course an
you would be right in doing it.
We go further in replying to such
Question by telling the one who in
quires that the purpose of the Bette,
Business Bureau is to give YOU the
facts about any investment proposition
that comes to you and then it is ur
to you to decide for yourself whethe,
or not you wish to go into it. If, after
getting our facts on. the proposition
you feel that you require further in
formation or want to ask someone for
advice. then we suggest that you con-
suit your banker, any reliable invest
ment house or investment banker. anv
of whom WIN give you the best advice
they are able to do. but it really is I'm
to you to decide for yourself after vo,,
have found out all you can about the
proposition.
Another question comes to the Bet
ter Business Bureau in somewhat this
form. The salesman for the Such
And-Such Company told me that his
proposition was recommended by the
Better Business Bureau; that the Bu-
reau had investigated it and found if
all right or that the Better Business
Bureau endorses the proposition"
When any salesman tells you that
right there is a good place for YOU to
bring the interview to close because
bear this in mind, the Better Business
Bureau NEVER under any circum-
stances recommends or endorses anv
ment, a sales event, or an advertising
ment sales event, or an advertising
scheme We cannot emphasize This
point too strongly and we hope that
all our readers will keep this ii mind,
II such statements are made to vou-
that the Better Business Bureau rec
ommends or endorses any proposition
not only tell the salesman you are
not going to take on his proposition.
but also report the matter to the
Bureau office and let us know who is
making such statement We have our
own way of taking care of such mis-
representations on the part OF sales
men and of putting stop to them.
Another question that we have from
time to time is the case of some PERI
son who has entered into a contract
with another or with company either
to purchase some article or articles
or to act as agent for some company
but who has either become dissatis-
lied with the terms of the contract
or possibly feels that the other party
Is not living up to his side of the
bargain
The Better Business Bureau cannot
undertake to give legal advice nor to
enforce civil contracts In the case of
apparent breach of contracts we are
only concerned should there be evil
dence of fraud on the part Of one or
other party to the contract IN such
cases only are we able to obtain relief
for one who has been misled or to
whom Misrepresentation have been
made In any case involving contract
relations between two persons the i
Bureau recommends that competent
be consulted. If you have en-
tered into contract with another and
the other party to the contract entered
into it in good faith we cannot be
of any help to you but if you can show
that the other party made false or
fraudulent representations to get you
to take on the contract, or to buy the |
article, then we would be glad to 20
into the matter with you and make
every effort to get relief for you.
Again we suggest Before you Invest
Investigate Find out what the
FACTS are and then, if you feel rca-
sonably secure in taking on the in
vestment you will at least have the
satisfaction of knowing that you did
not 60 into the investment blindly.I
that you learned all there was to
learn about the proposition from every
angle, Get these FACTS before you
INVEST.
