Viiicii PROMOTERS USE “CHARITY” ML Py itd | | Investizations of Various Schemes for Defrauding Public Out of Money Disclesed by Bankers Association— Many Kinds of Fake Industrial Promotions Used as Bait. By W. R. MOREHOUSE ; ‘ Public Relations Commission, American Bankers Association MILLIONS of dollars raised under the disguise of charity go to line the pockets of promoters. Ticket sales on raffles are commonly used, and while the loss to any one person who buys - a ticket is small the aggregate loss for the Hmmmrmemaes oo (Inited States runs into millions of dollars. ¥oo T Usually the promoters of these schemes first i e, make a contract with some charitable instif . . SR tution to conduct a campaign for funds on .”3 behalf of the institution. They are to run ;?"»x % the campaign in the name of the institution f;,,’#%% - and share the proceeds. - The whole scheme B& . 9 is often one of deception. To those who k. =% % have been led to believe that their contribuﬁ%&i‘* tions go practically 100 per cent to charity, Rl . the following case we investigated should }g #ﬁ prove illuminating. ¥A,J A number of promoters recently contract- & @ -ed with a charitable institution to put on a : a}g i campaign to raise funds by the raffle of a f$ i | ncw automobile. So far as'the public could comeeremee (€ll fOM the banners used in displaying the R automobile, the full amount of the sale price W.R. MOREHOUSE ,f the tickets went to the institution. There was nothing to convey any other impression. Apparently it was open and above board and was being conducted by men who were contributing their time gratuitously. For several days a new automobile, e

mounted on a truck, was driven up ind down the streets, with banners telling about the drive for funds for the charitable institution.. One day the truck would go by displaying one of the popular makes of automobiles. A few days later it would parade by displaying some other popular make. Periodically the truck would pull into the curb where it would park for several hours while the promoters plead: ed with passers-by to take tickets on the raffle and thereby help a desarving charitable institution to meet its bills. Thousands ‘Touched” Thonsands of people, touched by the appeal for help. bought tickets, the total sale runuing into the thousands of dollars. Contrary to the belief of the ticket buyers their contributions did not go 100 per cent to charity. Instead the charitable institution received but 26 cents on the dollar, the promoters getting 52 cents on the dollar as their net profit, or twice the amount received by charity, while the remainder of 22 cents on each dollar ropresented the amount charged against gross sales by the promoters a 3 expenses. In other words, every person who bought a 50 cent ticket for the sake of charity, contributed but 13 cents to charity and 37 cents to those promoting the scheme. @ Whether you give to charity or make an investment {t will pay you to get the facts! Unfortunately there i 8 a general impression abroad that wildcat promotions are confined to oil, mining and new inventions. The truth is, many stock selling promotions are operated under the name of other industries. False Claims : : A certain group of promoters invrestigated offered for sale stock in a proposed woolen mill. In order to sell the stock they resorted to the use of misrepresentation and _false claima. After renting space on the ground “floor of an office: building fronting on a busy street they began their campaign. Orally and by printed advertisements ‘extravagant claims were made for the proposed corporation which were grossly false. v WASHKOWSKY’S OLD SHOE We call the atténtion of the American Bankers Association to the case of Mr. Washkowsky of Brooklyn. Mr. Washkowsky is hard working and thrifty, but like so many of us his sducation is defective; who is to blame for that we don’t know. Mr. Wash- | kowsky has been saving a part of his weekly wages for a long time, but hadn't told Mrs. Washkowsky where he was depositing his nest egg. That was a mistake, probably, but an inquiry into it belongs to another branch of education with which it is probable the bankers association cannot be held to have any concern. = But with Mr. Washkowsky's depository it has. He chose for tpat' purpose an old shoe. He kept the shoe and its mate in his closet, and up to the other day had tucked away in one of them savings amounting to $350. On that same other day Mrs. Washkowsky, rummaging Mr. Washkowsky’s closet like & good housewife, seeking what she could throw away or transfer to another place where Mr. Washkowsky couldn’t find it, as is the habit of good housewives, found this same pair of old shoes. We suppose she said to herself, Mr. Washkowsky not being present to have it said to him, “Isn’t that just like a man?”’ and acting thereupon just like a woman she sent the shoes to tt& cobbler to be repaired. It was either that or the ash barrel for them, and being frugal and Mr Washkowsky paying the cobbler bills anyway, she sent | them to the cobbler. . A distraught man was Mr. Wash-l kowsky when he next went to make a, denpsit in his ojd shoe. “What new Man Lesing Sight Ends Life ‘ After informing relatives he preerred death to blindness Ira C.

It was claimed that the promotion had the support of the Chamber of Commerce, but it did not have any such an endorsement. It was claimed that the corporation had a sizned contract for the sale of millions of dollars® worth of its products—orders erouzh to keep the mills running day and night -for many years and accordingly insure its success, but all that it had was a valueless fake agreement.. It was claimed by two of the principaf promoters that they had had many yvears of experience in the manufacture of woolens.—in fact had organized and financed a wonlen mill which is th largest in the Uaited States. The facts ‘vere these twc pre-

One of the promoters represented that formerly he was presidant fand general manager of one of the largest woolen mills in Canada. The ! fact was the mill referred to had gone | into bankruptcy and he had heen care- ' taker of the plant. | This story of misrepresentation can ' be duplicated in practically the wtole industrial field, and because our in%dustries are being exploited with in- | tent to defraud, it behogves every investor to investigate carefully. He should consult his banker before drawing his savings out and losing them on some wildcat investment. place,” he asked in that martyr tone affected by husbands on similar occasions, “have you found for my old shoes?”’” Mrs. Washkowsky told him, expecting to be praised for her thoughtfulness. @Women-—but that's another branch of education. i Mr. Washkowsky went to the cabbler and found his shoes, but not the | money, which we cannot but feel is ; not remarkable. We hope he will find it, but he hasn’'t yet, which again sheuld cause no astonishment, But what we would like to hear from the American Bankers Association is what steps it is taking to discourage people of magpie habits from keeping their money in stoves, shoes, mantle clocks, behind wall pictures, under floor boards and ‘similar places. We have made no exact calculation, but from casual evidence we are inclined to believe ,there are enough funds hidden away in such places in this enlightened and progressive country to pay off the national debt. Not ‘that we advise paying it. off, because that would leave congress nothing to fuss with Mr. Mellon about; but if deposited in banks our banker -might have some to lend when we need it, which he now never has: he says money is very scarce. We hold it is not; it is merely in Mr Washkowsky's shoe. : : Seeing that we have been pursuing education, or something called that, for several centuries, we cannot bhut feel this is a bad showing and that the bankers association is somehow responsible It hasn't sufficiently im- ' pressed on the people that it has banks and what they are for. Mr, Washkowsky hasn't heard . And there are a ot of him im this country.— Kansas City Star. ‘ w ; Pay Fine in Elkhart Court | - In addition to the nine who were arrested and fined in Elkhart city court Monday following a raid on a gambling house in Elkhart two more Syracuse men were fined $2O each when they pleaded guilty to charges of frequenting.

There’s no longer any doubt about it. America is demanding more and more from its automobiles. More power... more style . . . more speed. And aboveall else. . . more smoothness and snap. ® ok w : Smoothness that brings to driving new pleasures and new delights. Snap that responds to the traffic signal as a sprinter responds te the gun. Smoothness and snap that you know are the very essence of motoring satisfaction. Smoothness and snap that you find re- ~ vealed in the All-American Six. * * * . You find them there because of Oakland’s big, impressive brute of an engine which starts so easily way below zero.
