The program is produced in co-operation with The Better Business Bureau of Chicago in 1952.

The organ rifts as the consumer realized that he was a sucker and just how deep he was in trouble.

This is one of the best recordings I've gotten from OTRcat. While the subject matter is a little dated - (the episodes were broadcast in the early 1950's and there are many more consumer protections in place today that were not in the law in those days), there is still plenty of timeless information in these shows concerning a variety of scams that are still with us today. I found the audio quality good to excellent, a few shows kind of muddy sounding but the majority loud and clear. I am listening to these on a Bose Wave IV machine, which is a much more pleasant experience than hearing them through computer speakers. I recommend the Bose Wave IV highly.
The shows were well acted by a dedicated cast, and each one lasted no more than a half hour. For 5 dollars, this disc is an excellent buy. Don't let these scams happen to you. READ THE SALES CONTRACT!!!!
