smelled up her house.
There are legitimate profits to be
made in vending machines, say ETC
officials, but false or exaggerated
claims are often made for them.
Usually the deception involves
promises Of an exclusive territory
to ventS product that will sell like
all get out, yielding handsome pro-
fits. All you have to do is stop by
from time to time and pick up the
jackpot.
Practically as good as owning .
toll bridge.
The facts reveal that the chances
are 20 to one the investor in vend-
ing machines will lose money. Big
mouthed promoters reap the har-
vest in most cases.
II you go into the vending ma
chine business, the ETC warns, be
sure to get the equipment from q
reputable firm.
THE ADvANCE-FEE RACKET.
This one is being worked with in
creasing frequency upon older peo-
pie who want to sell their farms.
The routine generally involves the
services of an alleged broker who
may call at the farm, or simply
telephone to claim that the asking
price for the place Is far too low.
All he needs to sell it for twice as
much is an advance fee for adver-
Using and brokers' commission.
For this money all the victim will
get is a sales ad describing his
property, often in a fancy booklet
that may not even be published.
CORRESPONDENCE SCHOOLS,
These may be wholly legitimate, of
course, but often they are not.
Claims of such schools should be
examined with care, and their repu-
tation checked out with the Better
Business Bureau, the Chamber of
Commerce, or local Extension Ser
vice people such as the county
agent or home demonstration
agent.
Beware of the correspondence
school that claims it can make you
smart or can turn you into q pro-
fessional weaver, tap-dancer, nurse.
ETC., in six easy lessons-by mail.
MEDICAL QUACKS. These are
perhaps the cruellest of the sorry
lot of gyp artists, their alleged
cures leading desperate people to
early death or prolonged suffering.
There is the ETC case history Of an
elderly woman suffering from tu-
berculosis who was beyond hope Of
recovery.
The agency's Investigator, talk
ing with her before she died, dis
covered the woman had been turned
away from bona fide doctors by the
quack who falsely claimed to be
one himself. He told her that the
medical profession was full of
racketeers who profited from pa
tients with lingering illnesses.
This repellent character, of
course, had the cure for what allied
her, Consumption medicine" that
never failed. Tests showed that
the connection was a mixture of
turpentine, kerosene, cottonseed oil,
water, iron oxide, and iodides.

Commenting on the record
amount raised, Mr.. Trent said,
"These continuous increases dem
onstrate the growth of the College
Fund. UNCF is now an integral
part of the American scene. Each
year sees, broadening in its base
of friends and widening of its
scope of endeavor."
"This year, for example, UNCF
for the first time campaigned in
small communities throughout the
state of North Carolina. The sue
cess of this venture promises to
set the pattern in opening new
territories in the near future"

tation Of the seller. II it's a deal,
man-buy. Now!
In case 1t has not been obvious
up to this point, I am, to one degree
or another, describing you and me,
Of course.
This much was admitted not long
ago, by John w. Gwynne Of Water
loo, Iowa, who was chairman of the
agency here in Washington until he
retired recently. Mr.. Gwynne is a
former congressman and was also
. Judge in his home state.
Judge" inquired outright,
"have you ever been gypped?"
"Well sir" he said, 81 will admit
that I was once attracted to an Of
fer of wide variety Of supposedly
fine nursery stock for very little
money and I sent mine in. The
stock arrived and I planted it."
That was several years ago and
the Judge admits there is still no
sign Of life.
The present chairman of the Fed
eral Trade Commission is Earl w.
Kintner, who claims his agency is
cracking down on wrong-doers
harder than ever these days. But,
he indicates, the big job is up to
the purchasing public.
"Any sale involves seller and
buyer" Kintner reminds US. eff the
seller misleads the buyer &C
ton should be taken against him.
But what about the buyer? Sup
pose the buyer says No thank you
to the spurious bargain e. the
illegitimate advertiser would find
business not so good. He might
even find himself unemployed"
The files of the ETC show that
the following are some of the slick
schemes to shy away from:
BAIT ADVERTISING. In its
simplest form this is an ad that
offers you aproducts at a ridicu-
lousy low price. The product is
really mailed to the floor" and is
not for sale, being used only as
bait to lure the customer into buy
ing something else.
A real-life illustration of how the
thing works involved a woman with
three children who responded to a
bait ad for a sewing machine cost
ing only $3.50. In this instance,
the woman eventually got the ma
chine into her home only to find
that it would not work.
Another machine was brought
out by the salesman who explained
that this one cost $169, but, as CO.
incident would have it, the down
payment exactly equalled the price
of the first.
The payments on the new ma
chine were too much for the woman,
and she lost it along with her $29.-
80.
PRE-TICKETING. This is less
obvious practice than bait advertis-
ing, and one that a good many peo-
pie fall for. It often involves use
of phoney price tags, printed and
fancy to give them an authentic
look. The product, however, is de-
liberately over-priced in order that
the seller may mark out the printed
figure, writing in the supposed
bargain price with a pencil or pen.
The actual selling price is fire.
quently more than the product is
worth.
GET-RICH-QUICK. This pitch
comes in a great variety of forms,
and it's operatives have prospered
with the mounting number of re-
tired people in the country looking
for ways to bolster their small and
fixed incomes. There is the case,
for instance, of the lady who de-
cided to grow mushrooms in her
home, having been told this was an
easy way to sudden wealth.
She found in fact that growing
mushrooms is a busines that takes
considerable work, knowledge, and
some investment. Instead of max

Years ago it cost so cents to see
