A Clever Trick To Get Your Money


TTER BUSINESS


INDIANAPOLIS


DURE


Some unscrupulous individuals, calling them- selves directory publishers, resort to tricky practices to sell listings in so-called directories. They solicit listings of business firms over the telephone in such a manner as to confuse and deceive business executives and cause them to authorize listings, believing they are being tele- phoned by a well-known directory company.


The appearance of this Public Service Message in these columns is evidence that this publication subscribes whole- heartedly to the principles of the Better Business Bureau, and co-operates with the Bu- reau in protecting you-even to the extent of refusing to accept the advertising of firms whose advertising and sales policies are proved to be contrary to public interest.


Out-of-town directory publishers solicit busi- ness houses here to fill out and sign an innocent looking blank form calling for information about their company. This blank, however, contains in fine print a cleverly worded offer which becomes a contract when signed by the business firm. These contracts call for the payment of large sums of money for such list- ings. A number of business men in Indian- apolis have been caught by this scheme.


If you are solicited by an unknown directory company, get the facts from the Better Busi- ness Bureau before authorizing a listing. There is no charge for this information.
