nroll. No, it’s not a housewives’ revolution. The story simply is that the nation-wide drive for consumer education has spread to Indianapolis. It’s gaining momentum, too. Bet you didn’t know that there are more than a million men and

women already part of such move-

ments all over the country. As a matter of fact, it’s not spanking new

there. A half dozen or more Indian-

apolis women’s organizations have been working on the problem for some time. It really got going good about the time the black days of 1929 hit everybody in the eye. A lot of people were complaining about business and misleading advertising and such. . The Start of the Thing So consumer groups were formed. The basis was to investigate, to determine if the advertiser's claims were true, and then to notify the members of: the group if the claims were (or were not) up to Hoyle. — Up until that time ithe consumer movements didn’t amount to much more than bridge club committees

| which went down—between games— . | to heckle the local merchants.

But if anything good can come out of a depression, the bright spot was the growth of consumer feeling. Clubwomen, teachers, business women and housewives started together to get their 100 cents worth for each dollar. It worked out pretty well and the movement has been growing ever since. Of course, it’s had its growing pains. What the movement has accomplished has, in the main, been all to the good! If has interested the great mass of buyers in looking for quality. It has grown into a national movement large enough to demand and get co-operation from business.

About Those Growing Pains
