Many, of those *} overating in Canada, it is- believed, have been driven out of the United States by the Better Business Bureau and judging from complaints received by Canadian Bureaus, this fleld is a profitable one. Many representations which have been made as to the actual benefits to be derived from member- ship in these "Service Companies" have been misleading. Usually 'im- plication is made that the service- contract includes a completé insurance policy indemnifying the holders a- gainst all liability, property damage loss from fire, theft, etc, and that discounts can be obtained on purchases of accessories, gas and oil. State- ments concerning legal services furn- ished by certain of the companies to members have led many prospects to believe that the company would be re- sponsible for all damage caused by the contract-halder's car. The fact is that the policy given to members usually consists of a personal accident policy of very limited coverage, which does not protect the holder against liability, property damage or loss by fire or theft. - The legal service-gen- erally represent that legal advice and assistance will begiven, but usually do not cover the contract holder in the event of a suit for damages caused by his car. Although the contract sold by these organizations includes as a general rule, towing service and a dis- count on accessories, these services and discount are not obtainable at all garages and filling stations, but can be obtained only from those with which the service companies have such an agreement. In many instances the number of such garages and filling stations have been very limited 'and there has often been actual misrepre- sentation regarding the stations giv- ing such service. Sales agents of some of these com- panies represent that they render "Automobile Club" service. This statement might be construed as in- dicating a connection with a recog- nized orgainzation. These service companies are as a rule jn no.way connected with such organizations and are purely and simply commercial pro- jects for the profit of those at the head. The Toronto Better Business Bureau urges all persons who are solicited to join these service companies, to read their contract carefully. This will safeguard against misunderstanding as to what service they may expect to derive by paying the membership fee. The Better Business Bureau at 45 Richmond Street West, Toronto, will be glad to furnish the facts regarding membership schemes of this nature. 500 Entries Already in Oshawa Fair Judging from the number of entries already received and the interest be- ing taken by exhibitors, the 1929 Osh- awa Fair will undoubtedly, be one of the most successful ever held, secre- tary C. P. Davis said. ' Already approximately 500 entries have been received by the secretary, and exhibitors have until September 6 to submit their entries. This is con- siderably ahead of the number of en- tries received at this date last year, said Mr. Davis. Interest seems to be strong in practically every de- partment of the fair, and this year's show should be the most comprehen- sive yet held here. The complete program of horse racing for the fair this year has been announced, and is given below. Pur- | if their names appear ou same, _ E. H.
