Consumers' Research is a non-profit organization established in 1929 by Stuart Chase and F. J. Schlink after the success of their book: "Your Money's Worth: a study in the waste of the Consumer's Dollar" galvanized interest in testing products on behalf of consumers. It published a monthly magazine called Consumers' Research Bulletin. Leading staff from this organization, thwarted in their efforts to establish a collective bargaining unit of a labor union, protested and left to form Consumers Union in 1936. The magazine published by Consumers Union, initially Consumers Union Reports and now called Consumer Reports, gained popularity and market share over the Bulletin and largely supplanted its relevance.
