WHEN PROMOTERS USE "CHARITY"
TO DECOY TRUSTFUL CONTRIBUTORS
Investigation of Various Schemes for Defrauding Public
Out of Money Disclosed by 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
aMMuiNMuuicinw United States runs into millions of dollars.

K'N rVvsJ ne following
V' A :-1 A number
v. a, MOREHOUst of 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 teveral dayi a new automobile,
mounted on a truck, was drlren up
and down the atreeta, wltb bannen
tilling about the drive for funda for
the charitable Inatltutlon. One day
the truck would go by displaying oce
of the popular makes of automobllts.
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 fur ser
ercl bours while the promoters plead
ed with passer! by to take tlcketa on
the r u (Tie and thereby help a deiervlug
charitable Institution to meet Us bills.
Thousands "Touched"
Thousands of people, touched by the
appeal for help, bought tickets, the
total sale running Into the tbmmanda
of dollars. Contr:.-T to the loll. ( of
the ticket buyeri 'v.elr contributions
did not go 100 pc- cent to charity.
Inxteari the char). Me Institution re
ceived but 26 ceau i.ii the dolh.r, the
promoters getting 11 cents on fio
dollar aa their net profit, or twice the
amount received by charity, while the
remainder ot 22 cents on each dollar
represented the 'amount charged
against gross sales by the promoters
as expenses. .
fn other words, every person who
bought a CO cent ticket for the sake
of charity, contrlhuied but U cents to
charity and 37 cents to those promot
ing the scheme. Whether yon give
to charily or make an investment It
will pay you lo got the facts!
Unfortunately there Is a general Im
prefmlon abroad that wildcat promo
tions are confined to oil, mining and
Uew Inventions. The truth Is, many
tuck selling promotions are operated
uiuler the name of other Indimtrics.
Fals Claims
A certain group of promoters In
festignted offered for sale stock In a
proposed woolen mill. In order to sell
the stock they resorted to the use of
misrepresentation and false claims.
After renting spaie on the ground

palitn. Orally and hy printed adver-'
