Respondent, II. E. ::\lartin(late, is an individual trading us Fedrral Institute of Meats & Marketing with its principal office FEDERAL INSTITUTE OF :MEATS & MARKETING 201 19!) Complaint and place of busir.ess located at 805% Sheridan Road, Menominee, in the State of Michigan. Respondent is now, and has Leen for some time past, engaged in the business of distributing and selling correspondence courses of instruction in the art of butchery and meat packing to persons hereinafter referred. to as pupils and in selling to such pupils severally, as incidental and accessory to the instructions in and to the learning, use, and practice of such science and art, certain merchandise consisting of books, booklets, pamphlets, and other articles in commerce as herein set out.

Said respondent, being engaged in bnsine>'S as aforesaid, when a prospective pupil entprs into a contract with him, enrolls sn,id pupil, in consideration of the agreed charge or tuition paid or agreed to be paid by such pupil, umlertakes to sell and deliver to such pupil~ through the United States mails or otherwise, a complete course of written, mimeograpluid or printed information and instruction in the particular course or cours<>s of said instruction chosen by such pupil and causes said correspondence courses of instruction, when sold, to be transported from his office and principal place of business in the State of Michigan to purchasers thereof located at various points in other States of the UnitNl States and in tlle District of Columbia, and there is now, and has been at all times mentimwcl herein, a constant current of trade in commerce in said correspomlence courses of instruction in the art of butchery and meat packing so distributed and sold by the respondent between and among the various States of the United States and in the District of Columbia. PAR. 3. In the course and conduct of his said business, respondent is now, and has been, in substantial competition with other individuals and with firms and corporations likewise engaged in the business of distributing and selling correspondence courses of instruction in various arts, including the art of butchery and meat packing, and also with persons, firms, and corporations engaged in the business of teaching or giving instruction in the art of butchery and meat packing and other arts in ways other than through correspondence courses, in commerce among and between the various States of the United States and in the District of Columbia.

In all of said ques- Complaint 24 F. T.C. tionnaires, circular letters, enrollment blanks, and advertising literature, the respondent has caused his trade name to be prominently and conspicuously displayed with the following addresses and designations :
Central States Division Federal Instltute--l\1eats-1\1arketlng Washington, D. C.
II. E. 1\lartlndale, Divisional Director Central States Office Menominee, Michigan In other advertising literature, the respondent has made use of the following statements:
This survey sponsored by the F. I. M. l\1. now being conducted in Wisconsin is part of a nation-wide project, Wisconsin being the first state In the middlewest section (Central States Division) to be contacted. Due to the limited time allotted for the completion of this survey, we are resorting to the malls In order to reach quickly a list of men from whom we wlll select a limited number for personal interviews. The field of opemt!on in this industry is nation-wide-among the many opportunities Indicated are those of: buyer-shlpper-lnspectlon-managlngsupervislng; also grading-slaughter-dressing of cattle-likewise sausage mak· ing, etc. As a result of this survey, we will be able to select this limited number of men who through the facilities of our various departments will quickly qualify for the branches of senice outlined herein. In all of said literature and enrollment blanks, hereinabove referred to, the respondent also makes use of such terms as "Chief of Examiners," "Doard of Examiners," "Examiners," "Assistant Examiners," and "Divisional Director" to designate certain of his employees or associates, those terms being generally used by various branches, divisions, and bureaus of the United States Government to designate certain classes of their respective employees. In certain portions of the advertising literature, hereinabove referred to, respondent displays a picturization of a large building under which there appears the designation:
FEDEllAL INSTITUTE OF MEATS & MARKETING Menominee, Michigan All of said statements, together with many similar statements appearing in respondent's advertising literature, purport to be descriptive of the business conducted by him under the trade name Federal Institute of Meats & Marketing. In all of his advertising litemture and through representations and statements made by the respondent FEDERAL INSTITUTE OF 1\IEATS & MARKETING 203 199 Complaint acting through agents and representatives, the respondent has represented, and now represents, that (1) the business conducted by him under the trade name Federal Institute of Meats & Marketing is a branch or bureau of the United States Government, has some connection or affiliation with some branch or bureau of the United States Government or is licensed and approved by some branch or bureau of the United States Government; (2) that the business operated under the trade name Federal Institute of Meats & Marketing is operated on a nation-wide basis, or is operated on a widespread basis covering many states and is conducted on a large and substantial basis; and (3) that there are many openings for various positions in the meat slaughtering and packing industry and that the need and demand for men trained in the art of butchery and meat packing is much greater than the actual demand therefor and that the course of instruction sold by the respondent is a competent course upon the completion of which the pupil will be adequately qualified to fill various positions in the meat slaughtering and meat packing industry.
PAR. 5. The representations made by the respondent as to any connection between the business conducted by him under the trade name Federal Institute of Meats & :Marketing and any branch or bureau of the United Stares Government are, in fact, untrue. Neither the respondent nor the business conducted, as aforesaid, is in any way connected with a bureau or branch of the United States Government and neither the respondent nor the business conducted under the name of Federal Institute of :Meats & Marketing maintains an office <If any kind in 'Vashington, D. C.
The business operated by the respondent is not operated on a nation-wide basis or on a widespread basis covering many states and is not conducted on a large and substantial basis. In truth and in fact, pupils and prospective pupils have been contacted in only a very few states and the so-called "Central States Office" located at Menominee, Mich., is in reality the home and sole office of the business. 'fhe Federal Institute of Meats & Marketing does not operate or completely occupy the building depicted, as hereinabove indicated, but actually rents only a comparatively small office space in said building. In truth and in fact, there are not many openings for various positions in the meat slaughtering and packing industry and the need and demand for men trained in the art of butchery and meat packing is not greater than the actual demand therefor. In truth and in fact, the course of instruction offered by the respondent is :not a complete course in butchery and meat packing and a success- :ful completion of said course does not, of itself, qualify the pupil 204 FEDERAL TRADE COl\Il\IISSION DECISIONS Findings 24 F. T. C. taking said course to fill various positions in the meat slaughtering and packing industry.
PAn. G. There are among the competitors of the respondent many who distribute and sell either correspondence courses or other courses in butchery and meat packing, or other correspondrnce courses of instruction, who do not, in any way, misrepresent the character, quality, size, scope, or connection with the United States Government, of their respective businesses and do not, in any way, misrepresent the demand for pupils who have successfully completed their respective courses of instruction or the degree of proficiency that will be acquired by the pupil upon a successful completion of the course. PAn. 7. Each a11<l all of the false and misleading statements and representations made by the respondent, as hereinabove set out, in his advertising, in newspapers, questionnaires, circular letters, enrollment blanks, and other advertising literature, in offering for sale and selling his courses of instruction was, and is, calculated to, and had,. and now has, a tendency and capacity to mislead and deceive a substantial portion of the purchasing public into the erroneous belief that all of said representations are true. Further, as a direct consequence of the mistaken and erroneou~ beliefs, induced by the acts,. adv:et~tisements, and misrepre~entations of respondent, as hereinabove detailed, a substantial number of the consuming public has purchased a substantial volume of respondent's courses of instruction with the result that trade has been unfairly diverted to the respondent from individuals, firms and corporations likewise engaged in the business of distributing and selling correspondence courses or other courses in the art of butchery and meat packing, or other correspondence courses, and who truthfully advertise their courses of instruction. As a result therof, substantial injury has been, and is now being done, by respondent to substantial competition in commerce among and between the various States of the United States and in the District of Columbia.
PAR. 8. The above and foregoing acts, practices and repre~·enta tions of the respondent have been, and are, all to the prejudice of the public and respondent's competitors as aforesaid, and have been, and are, unfair methods of competition within the meaning and intent of Section 5 of an Act of Congress approved September 26, 1914, entitled "An Act to create a Federal Trade Commission, to define its powers and duties, and for other purposes." REronT, FINDINGS AS TO THE FACTs, AND Onom Pursuant to the provisions of an Act of Congress approved September 26, 1914, entitled, "An Act to create a Federal Trade Com- FEDERAL INSTITUTE OF MEATS & 1\IARI(ETING 205 199 Findings mission, to define its powers aml duties, and for other purposes," the Federal Trade Commission on February 29, 1936, issued and served its complaint in this proceeding upon the respondent, H. E. Martindale, trading as Federal Institute of Meats & Marketing, charging him with the use of unfair methods of competition in violation of the provisions of said act. After the issuance of said complaint, testimony and other evidence in support of the allegations of said complaint were introduced by J. T. ·welch, attorney for the Commission, before John J. Keenan, an examiner of the Commission theretofore duly designated by it, and in opposition to the allegations of the complaint by ·wentworth T. Durant, attorney for the respondent, and said testimony and other evidence were duly recorded and filed in the office of the Commission. Thereafter, the proceeding regularly came on for final hearing before the Commission on the said complaint and testimony and other evidence; and the Commission having duly considered the same, and being now fully ad vised in the premises, finds that this proceeding is in the interest of the public and makes this its findings as to the facts and its conclusion drawn therefrom: FINDINGS AS TO THE FACTS PARAGRAPH 1.

and among the various States of the United States and in the District of Columbia.
PAR. 2. In the course and conduct of his said business, respondent is now, and has been, in substantial competition with other individuals and with firms and corporations likewise engaged in the business of distributing and selling correspondence courses of instruction in various arts, including the art of butchery and meat packing, and also with persons, firms, and corporations engaged in the business of teaching or giving instruction in the art of butchery and meat packing and other arts in ways other than through correspondence courses, in commerce among and between the various States of the United States and in the District of Columbia.

As a result of this survey, we will be able to select this limited number of men who through the facilities of our various departments will quickly qualify for the branches of service outlined herein. In all of said advertising literature, including questionnaires, circulars and enrollment blanks, the respondent makes extensive use of such terms as "Chief of Examiners," "Doard of Examiners," "Examiners," "Assistant Examiners," and ''Divisional Director" to designate certain of his employees or associates. In certain portions of his advertising literature, the respondent displays a picturization of a large building under which there appears the designation: FEDERAL INSTITUTE OF MEATS & :l\IARKETING l\Ienominee, Michigan In all of his advertising literature and through representations and statements made by the respondent acting through agents and representatives, the respondent has represented and now represents that {1) the business conducted by him under the trade name Federal Institute of .Meats and .Marketing is a branch or bureau of the United States Government, has some connection or affiliation with some branch or bureau of the United States Government or is licensed and approved by some branch or bureau of the United States Government; (2) the business operated under the trade name Federal Institute of Meats & Marketing is operated on a nation-wide basis, or is operated on a widespread basis covering many states and is conducted on a large and substantial basis; (3) there are many openings for various positions in the meat slaughtering and packing industry and that the need and demand for men trained in the art of butchery and meat packing is much greater than the actual demand therefor; and ( 4) the course of instruction sold by the respondent is a competent course upon the completion of which the pupil will be adequately qualified to fill various positions in the meat slaughtering and meat packing industry. PAn. 4. The terms "Chief of Examiners," "Doard of Examiners," "Examiners," "Assistant Examiners," and "Divisional Director" are terms generally used by various branches, divisions, and bureaus of the United States Government to designate certain classes of their respective employees. The representations made by the respondent as to any connection between him or the business conducted by him under the trade name Federal Institute of Meats & Marketing and any brunch or bureau of the United States Government are, in fact, untrue. Neither the respondent nor the business conducted by him under said trade name is in any way connected with, affiliated with, licensed or approved by, any branch or bureau of the United States Government. The respondent, neither individually nor under the 208 FEDERAL TRADE COl\11\IISSION DECISIONS Findings 2-!F. T. C. trade name Federal Institute of l\Ieats & Marketing, conducts or maintains an office of any kind in the city of Washington, District of Columbia. The business operated by the respondent is not operated on a nation-wide basis or on a widespread basis covering many States and is not conducted on a large and substantial basis. As a matter of fact, pupils and prospective pupils have been contacted only in a very few States. The so-called "Central States Office" located at Menominee, Mich., is in reality the home and sole office of the business. The Federal Institute of Meats & Marketing does. not completely occupy the building depicted in respondent's advertising matter but actually rents only a comparatively small office space in said building. The course of instruction sold by the respondent is not a complete course of butchery and meat packing and a successful completion of said course does not, of itself, qualify the pupil taking such course to fill various positions in the meat slaughtering and packing industry. There are not many openings. of various positions in the meat slaughtering and packing inrlustry and the need and demand for men trained in the art of bnt<-hery and meat packing is not greater than the actual supply therefor. There are skilled men with long experience in the industry who are waiting a return of normal conditions for reemployment in the meat packing industry.
PAR. 5. There are among the competitors of the respondent many who distribute and sell either correspondence courses or other courses in butchery and meat packing, or other correspondence courses of instruction, who do not, in any way, misrepresent the character, qualityt size, scope, or connection with the United States Government, of their respective businesses and do not, in any way, misrppresent. the demand for pupils who have successfully completed their respective courses of iustmction or the degree of proficiency that will be acquired by the pupil upon a successful completion of the course. PAR. 6. Each an<l all of the f1tlse an<l misleading f'tfltements nnd representations made by the respondent in hi1> advertising literature in offering for sale an<l selling his conespomlence courses of instruction were, and are, calculated to, and hal, and now haw, 11. capacity an<l tendency to mislead<l a1Hl deceive n substantial portion of the pnrcha~i11g public into the Lrliefs that the bnsinrss condnctl'd under the trade name of Federal Institute of Meats & Marketing is a branch or burl'au of the United States Government or has some connection or affiliation with some branch or bureau of the Unite<l States Government or is licem;pd and approw<l by some branch or Lureau of the United States Government; that the business is operated on a nation-wide basis covering many States and is conducted FEDERAL INSTITUTE OF :MEATS & MARKETING 209 199 Order on a large and substantial basis; that there are many openings for various positions in the meat slaughtering and packing industry and that the need for men trained in the art of butchery and meat packing is much greater than the actual supply therefor; and that the respondent's course of instruction constitutes a competent course upon the completion of which a student will be adequately qualified to fill various positions in the meat slaughtering and meat packing industry. As a direct consequence of these mistaken and erroneous beliefs, a substantial number of the consuming public has purchased respondent's courses of instruction with the result that trade has been unfairly diverted to the respondent from individuals, firms, and corporations likewise engaged in the business of distributing and selling correspondence courses or other courses in the art of butchery and meat packing, or other correspondence courses and who truthfully advertise their respective courses of instruction. As a consequence thereof, injury has been done by respondent to competition in commerce among and between the various States of the United States and in the District of Columbia.
CONCLUSION The aforesaid acts and practices of the respondent, H. E. 1\Iartindale, trading as Federal Institute of l\Ieats & Marketing, are to the prejudice of the public and of respondent's competitors, and constitute unfair methods of competition in commerce, within the intent and meaning of Section 5 of an Act of Congress, approved September 2G, 1014, entitled "An Act to create a Federal Trade Commission, to define its powers and duties, and for other purposes."
