"But more than ever before, | think advertisers recognize their responsibilities to us, the consumers. Advertisers recognize the necessity ' to inform honestly. They recognize their duty not to fool the public. And they recognize the need to police themselves." That's one reason why the Cana- dian Advertising Advisory Board was created. It's a body made up of advertisers, advertising agencies and media. One of their chief func- tions is to help protect the consumer against misleading advertising. Don't con the consumer-- she may be your wife! "Things have changed a great deal is a well-known figure in Canadian business, since 'the good old days'. You can't fool the consumer. She is a smart shopper. And the advertisers are very much aware of that fact. "TI think that we all recognize good advertising when we see it.
