HOW FAKE AUCTIONS GET YOUR MONEY By W. R. MOREHOUSE Public Relations Commission, American Bankers Association (This is cn« of a oorirs of artwlet rrpoting ths wiles of aAorprra wAs are after Vour menry.J NEARLY everyone is ready -‘to take a fling” at getting something for nothing or at least for less than it is worth. lecause of this many are duped into paying more than regular market prices for things they buy. This class oi people is especially susceptible to the appeal ot anything resembling an auction. Fake auc, tions with the cards stacked against the buyer ' are very common. They rank high among the v fraudulent schemes of the country. n E The “here today and gone tomorrow* y auction faker rents a tine looking house in ■ some high-class section of the city in which he ■ plans to operate. He furnishes this house with cheapest imitations of high-class furnishings, with here and there a fine piece -t’fc which is to serve for bait. Certain pieces are alleged antiques with a thread of glorious hisja' Jk JEKhSIS tori behind them. Os others it is claimed that y * iav ‘“ down for generations, original mg with some person noted in history or with some famous Southern family. Os other pieces it is maintained that they are wr, morehouse. ma( j e o f rare an( | p rec i O us woods imported from far across the sea. The overstuffed furniture, it is claimed, is all high grade of standard manufacture. Regardless of its superiority and antiquity, the furniture

must be sold at once, for the owner is compelled to take an, extended trip, the family physician having ordered travel and a change of climate as a means of saving his life. Nothing is to be spared and the deep slashings of the auctioneer's axe must go on with no price too low. Individual pre-auction sales, of course, will be arranged for persons who are unable >o attend the auction. The day of the sale is here. Purchasers are arriving. They are met at the door by the woman member of the outfit—a dramatic person who knows when to shed tears at the thought of having her happy home broken & up and her valuable furnish-

trigs torn from her. She tells her sad story—how she must leave her home and go to distant lands with her husband whose health is broken and life in danger. But she is resigned to her "awful calamity" and will sell all her lovely furnit ire even at a great sacrifice. As she directs attention to certain pieces of furniture her voles quavers. She almost sobs aloud as she names the price she is forced to accept. "Less than half the original cost, but price ie no object. We must take the train tomorrow,” and she wipes a tear from her eye. Fully convinced the sale is genuine, and sympathizing with the unfortunate woman, buyers clamor tor the furniture. But no sooner are the articles transferred from their setting in the slightly darkened rooms of their original owner and displayed in the sunlight of the purchaser's home, than the truth about the sale begins to dawn in the mind of -each new owner. Close examination reveals that evidently this wonderful collection of furniture was but odds and ends and unsalable pieces picked up from second-hand stores by these fly-by-night fakers. Some proves to be the rankest of imi tations of the cheapest grade, and the overstufied is so poorly constructed that It squeaks and weaves under the lightest weight. The Birds Have Flown When those who have been cheated rush back to the house the next day, Intent on making it “hot for the faker,” fA fitter* +riV. presrr.t scow to separate good from bad invcslmtn TRUST COMPANIES RANK NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING HIGHEST The outstanding trust institutioni of the United States are those that were pioneers in using advertising ar a means of selling their services, s speaker dold a conference of trust companies held in New York recently He presented the results of a question naire sent out by the Trust Company Division, American Rankers Associa tion, making an inquiry into the ad vertislng practices of institutions do Inga trust business. Three out of every’ four trust companies and banks engaged in extending trust services were found to be advertising. The oalnion was expr»*aea by the speaker

i • i. they find hanging in the front window a sign, "For Rent.” The birds have i flown, without leaving any address ; Fake auctions are not exclusive to residences, but are sometimes staged in stores. We have reports of a certain furniture firm that failed, having on hand stock invoiced at $42,000. An auction sale was announced. As usual the stock must be closed out to satisfy creditors within a few days, regardless ot cost. On the windows appeared glaring announcements of big bargains. Although represented as a lfl<f*Uniate sale, d ® it had the earmarks ■1 of an auction by

I Messrs. Catch ’em and Skin ’em. An investigation of the store made six months later disclosed that its stock was then larger than the day it announced the auction. Its sales ,in the interim had exceeded 16011,000. ' The facts are that two trucks had I backed up to the rear of the store nightly and unloaded new merchandise, principally odd linee and job lots picked up here and there at a bargain Under the guise of a legitimate auc tion, or private sale at auction prices, fourteen times as much furniture was sold in the six months as the store contained at the time of the failure S Comparison of sale prices disclosed m victims were persuaded to buy liberally on the assurance they were getting sacrifice prices, when as a matter of fact they were actually paying from five to 25 per cent more than re liable stores were charging for better goods. Fake auctions and private sales are used not only for furniture but also in the sale of jewelry and other merchandise. The lesson which this story teaches is that there is nothing to be gained by patronizing such sales. On the other hand, there is a better than 50-50 chance of sustaining a loss. Not al! auctions are fraudulent, for some are conducted fairly and honestly, but before you draw your savings from the bank and spend them for auction goods it will pay you to get the facts. For your own protection make ' it an unbreakable rule to confine your expenditures and investments to reliable firms and individuale. In dealing with them you are assured a square deal | to foil crocked promoters' «ade« and ieii nte.) that tlieir growth would closely follow the amounts spent each year tor advertising. The local newspaper is the most highly regarded advertising medium, it was disclosed. In all, 829 companies answering the questionnaire used the local papers and 338 did not. The institutions buying space in local papers are evenly divided among all sections of the country. Comparing six media for selling personal trust services and i considering their effectiveness from 1 the standpoint of producing results, I the speaker declared that the local ; newspapers should head the list Fold- i ers and booklets can reach a limited | audience, he observed, but the news- ' paper Is the best medium for acquir- 1 :ng prestige and mass circulation. It should never be omitted, he urged.
