Misleading illustrations and layouts have also
been the subject of several reports to different
advertisers. It has been found that illustra-
tions, together with prices and names of in-
struments, have not been justified when shopped.
This also is a type of deception which the
Bureau believes has no place in musical in-
strument advertising and in its work is en-
deavoring to point out the harm it is doing
the business. In most instances, where the
matter has been taken up with the dealer and
the errors clearly pointed out, the latter has
stated that in the future he would follow the
general standards recommended by the trade
and with the educational work that is being
carried on there has been a noticeable im-
provement in local trade advertising.
