Consumer Movement
Discussed Before
Advertising Club
Bostonion Describes
Move to Promote
Understanding

What is being done by public and
private agencies to promote under
standing and cooperation between
the consumer and the retailer was
described to the Advertising Club of
Washington today by Frank A. Black
Of Boston, a representative of the
National Consumer Retailer Coun-
Gil.
Mr.. Black, addressing advertising
men at their luncheon meeting in
the Raleigh Hotel, discussed the
consumer movement" from the
standpoint of a retailer.
He explained that the great num-
Der and complexity of products for
sale in the American market has
given rise to educational work by
women's clubs, by schools and COL
leges. publishers and the Federal
Government.
The objectives Of this vast educa-
tional campaign, Mr.. Black said,
were Ito promote the use of inform
ative labelling, to promote the use of
truthful and factual information in
advertising, to promote informative
salesmanship.
ITO encourage practices which will
tend to reduce abuses of such priv
ileges as customer accounts, returns,
deliveries and similar services.
ITO foster local cooperation be-
tween stores or groups of stores and
local consumer groups, to promote
the use for adequate standards for
consumer goods, to promote the use
of uniform Technology in describ-
Ing consumer goods and services,
and to develop and promote the use
OF suggested codes of ethics for both
retailers and consumers.
''This is big movement requiring
adequate machinery - machinery
that permits of most complete CO.
operation between retailers and con-
sumer, with the manufacturer on the
side lines, and the amount of give
and take that is always necessary to
perfect meeting of minds"
The speaker was introduced bv
James w. Hardy, and Alvin @. Ehr-
Ich, president of the club, presided.
