Jr., the Midwestern regional director of the Small business ad­ ministration has announced plans for a May 26 conference in Chicago which will bring together virtually every federal and state agency that impacts on the small community. Aronson said the conference will be held in the Pick- Congress hotel', 520 South Michigan avenue, in Chicago, and will be directed toward all small businessmen and women in Illinois and northwestern Indiana. Nineteen federal and state agencies have agreed to par­ ticipate in the day-long event, Aronson said. "For the first time in Illinois," he said, "in one place a participant can leam what assistance he may obtain from government, how he can sell to government, and become aware of how governmental regulations affect his business." Aronson said the session, entitled the "Government Assistance to Small Business conference," will be a working program, featuring seminars, exhibits, and a luncheon, at which major governmental official will deliver the keynote address. According to Aronson, Similar conference coordinated by the SBA in other locations have drawn "excellent response." One conducted in Kalamazoo, Mich., in early April attracted a crowd of 1,400 he said. "This indicates clearly that there is a need on the part of the small businessman or woman for help and information," Aronson said. "I would urge small businesspeople of Illinois and Indiana to avail them­ selves of this opportunity." Participating agencies, in addition to the SBA. include the Internal Revenue service, the Federal Trade commission, Department of Labor, Department of Commerce, Federal Energy ad­ ministration, General Services administration, Environmental Protection agency, Depart­ ment of Housing and Urban Development, Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Consumer Product Safety commission, Defense Contract Ad­ ministrative services, U.S. Bureau of Census, Food and Drug administration, Social Security administration, U S Customs service. Veterans administration. U S. Army at Fort Sheridan. U.S. Coast Guard, and the State of Illinois Department of Business and Economic Development. , Aronson said the objectives of the conferences are to: -Bring government directly to the people; to provide agency representatives who are available to speak to the concerns of small business -Increase the small business awareness of federal services and regulations which affect business. a -Alert small business to additional business op­ portunities with the federal government. -Establish a pattern of mutal communication between government and small business. -Alert government to the major concerns of small businessmen and women. Further information about the conference may be obtained at SBA's Illinois District Office, Suite 437, 219 South Dearborn street, Chicago, or by calling 312-353-4485. Pre-registration is advised. Consumer Alert -Buying a used car can be an expensive proposition- especially if you don't check it out thoroughly before you purchase it. Don't be fooled by a shiny wax job, for that gleaming hood could be hiding a lot of problems that won't show up until after you've signed the contract and driven out of the lot. Governor's Consumer Ad­ vocate Celia Maloney says you can avoid future expensive repair bills if you approach a used car purchase with the following tips in mind: Check the reputation of the agencies, car lots or repair shops you wish to visit with the nearest Better Business Bureau. They keep up-to-date files on companies that have had complaints registered against them. Remember that you assume many risks when buying a used car. You should find out everything you can about the condition of the car before you sign a contract. There are several simple checks you can make on a car while still on the lot. The Consumers Union has a booklet called "How to Buy a Used Car" which describes a number of such risks. Before you buy a used car, have a mechanic check it over. He can check the brakes, compression, transmission, shocks and general engine and body in a matter of a few minutes and rarely will charge more than a nominal charge. Some areas also have complete automobile diagnostic centers available. Make the salesman talk in terms of total price, not dollars per month. Be sure that his stated total price corresponds with the price on the contract you sign. If a salesman in an agency or lot begins to apply "un­ comfortable" sales pressure, bow out quickly. Many used cars are sold "as is." If it is, you will probably be responsible for anything that goes wrong. Written warranties and guarantees are important. Make sure that you understand exactly what they say because some elaborate guarantees many not provide as much protection as they appear to. Consider the warranty as you would any other aspect of the sale when deciding what and where to purchase. Don't rely on general statements about a used car such as "This is a great little car" or "You'll get lots of miles out it " Check it out yourself. If you have a consumer complaint or question, write or call Celia Maloney, Governor's Consumer Advocate, 160 N. LaSalle, Room 2010, Chicago, Illinois, 60601, 312-793-2754.
