...purpose of opposing the amendment proposed by the Department of the Interior that I went to Washington and testified before the committee.

...fascinating example of how the vanity firms work was provided by New York's Exposition Press, one of the leaders in the field, during FTC hearings two years ago. Up to a point, Exposition-which has since entered into a consent order promising to mend its ways-went through the routine of a regular publishing house.
