They areli ; the campaign in the name of the y and share the proceeds. The whale is often one of deception. To th* have been led to believe that their tions go practically 100 per cent to the following case we inve.'.igated
prove illuminating.
A number of promoters recently W ed with a charitable institution to campaign to raise funds by the ru new automobile. So far as the pub*( tell from the banners used in displajj* automobile, the full amount of the sil of the tickets went to the institution,
was nothing to convey any other impression. Apptjr was open and above board and was bcin” conducted hJ who were contributing their time gratuitously.
For several daya a new automobile, mounted on a truck, was driven up and down the streets, with banners telling about the drive for funds for the charitable Institution. One day the truck would go by displaying ono 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 pr.rk for several hours while the promoters pleaded with passers-by to take tickets on the raffle and thereby help a deserving charitable Institution to meet its bills.
Thousands “Touched”
Thousands of people, touched by the appeal for help, bought tickets, the total sale running Into the thousands of dollars. Contrary to the belief of the ticket buyers their contributions did not go 100 per cent to clairlty. Instead the charitable Institution received but 20 cents on the dollar, the promoters petting 62 cents on tho dollar as thetr net profit, or twice the amount received by charity, while the remainder of 22 cents on each dollar represented the amount {barged against gross sales by the promoters
u<< expenses.
In other words, every person who bought a 50 cent ticket for the sake of charity, contributed but 13 rents to charity and 37 cents to those promoting the scheme. Whether you give h: charity or make on Investment It will pay you to get the facts! Unfortunately there Is 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.
