DENOUNCES UNETHICAL
PIANO ADVERTISING
Official of Milwaukee Better Business Bureau Calls
a Halt on Hurtful Methods.
Oscar H. Morris, director of the Better Business
Bureau of the Milwaukee Association of Commerce,
has entered into a special campaign of vigilance of
music trade advertising in Milwaukee, which is
prompted by a number of flurries of advertising re-
garded as unethical.
"Unless such advertising is stopped, the bars will
be let down and the entire music industry of Mil-
waukee will be thrown into a turmoil of 'rotten' ad-
vertising," said Mr. Morris in speaking of numerous
complaints received by his office relative to advertis-
ing matter published by one of the well known piano
stores. The advertising matter pertains to the giv-
ing away of prizes which, Mr. Morris says, he is in-
formed, is far from the high standards and the ethics
desired from the music trade.
