Better Business Bureau of Chicago and Northern Illinois celebrates 95th anniversary
Dennis Horton
In 1912 a group of business people in Minnesota determined that something needed to be done to put trust in the marketplace. At that time consumers didn’t know who or what they could trust when purchasing goods and services. It was a bit of the wild, wild west in terms or advertising. Business owners, salespeople and manufacturers would make claims about their products that were simply untrue. They would also make claims about their competitors’ products that were false.
The fear among those businesspeople was that if they didn’t self-regulate the government would eventually step-in. So, they formed what was called “Vigilance Committees” to uphold fundamental advertising standards that identified, challenged and called out misleading ads. The committees evolved into the Better Advertising Bureau, which is now the Better Business Bureau.
