NANCY LEE INSTITUTE 315 314 Complaint Mr. E. J. Hornibrook for the Commission.
Mr. Harry Scheer, of New York City, for respondent. SYNOPSIS OF Complaint Reciting its action in the public interest, pursuant to the provisions of the Federal Trade Commission, the Commission tharged respondent, a New York corporation engaged in the sale of " Miracle Developing Cream" under the name of "Nancy Lee", and in the Bale of " Dermo Cream " under the name " Mary Titus ", and with principal place of business in New York City, with misrepresenting business identity, and advertising falsely or misleadingly in said respect, and as to qualities and results of product, and te;;::timonials relating thereto, in violation of the provisions of section 5 of such act, prohibiting the use of unfair methods of competition in interstate commerce.
Respondent, as charged, engaged as aforesaid, represents in magazines and newspaper advertisements, and in circulars containing purported testimonials and pictures that its so-called " Miracle Developing Cream is sold by a woman-Nancy Lee-that the use of this cream increases the size of the breasts and assures rounded, fully developed, beautiful breasts, that its use will fill the contours of and increase the size of breasts from one to three inches and that it will restore withered breasts to normal size, that said pictures represent the size of the breasts before and after using said cream, many women have increased the size of their breasts by its use"; the facts being that said cream " is not sold by Nancy Lee or any other woman, nor is there a woman connected with the management of the said business of respondent; the use of Miracle Developing Cream does not and cannot increase the size of the breasts nor assure rounded or beautiful or fully developed breasts nor will it fill the contours of the hreasts nor restore withered breasts to normal; that the purported testimonials of women to the effect that the breasts have been enlarged by the use of Miracle Developing Cream are not true and that the said pictures purporting to show enlargement of the breasts after using such cream are not true pictures."
Respondent further, as charged, falsely represents that its said "Dertno Cream is sold by a woman-Mary Titus-that its use will fill out the neck, chest, arms, legs, or any part of the body "; facts being that said cream " is not sold by Mary Titus or any other woman, nor is there a woman connected with the management of the said business of respondent; the use of " Dermo Cream " will not fill out the neck, ehest, arms, legs or increase the size of any part of the human body." Such false and misleading statements and representations, as alleged, "had and have the capacity and tendency to induce the pub- Findings 17F.'l'.C. lie to purchase and use respondent's said Miracle Developing Cream and Dermo Cream in the belief that said statements and representa· tions made as to each of them are true and had and have the capacity and tendency unfairly to divert trade from said competitors to respondent"; all to the prejudice of the public and competitors. Upon the foregoing complaint, the Commission made the following REPORT, FINDINGS AS TO THE FACTS, AND ORDER Pursuant to the provisions of an act of Congress approved Sep· tember 26, 1914, entitled "An act to create a Federal Trade Commission, to define its powers and duties, and for other purposes", the Federal Trade Commission, on the 18th day of January, A.D. 1932, issued and thereafter served its complaint against the respondent Nancy Lee Institute, .a corporation trading as Nancy Lee, and as Mary Titus, charging it with the use of unfair methods of comf>etition in commerce, in violation of the provisions of sa~d act. Respondent having entered its appearance and filed an answer to the said complaint, hearings were had before a trial examiner theretofore duly appointed and testimony was heard and evidence taken in support of the charges stated in the complaint, and in opposition thereto. Thereafter this proceeding came on regularly for decision and the Commission having duly considered the record and being now fully advised in the premises, makes this its report, stating· its findings as to the facts and its conclusion drawn therefrom: FINDINGS AS TO THE FACTS PARAGRAPH 1. Respondent is a corporation organized and existing under and by virtue of the laws of the State of New York with its principal office and place of business located in ·the city of New York, State of New York. It was so incorporated on the 18th day of August, 1930. Since the date of its incorporation it has traded under its corporate name and also under the name of Nancy Lee, but not under the name of Mary Titus.
Respondent is now and since the date of its incorporation has been engaged in the business of selling a massage cream which it designates as Nancy Lee Miracle Cream, and which it offers for sale as and represents to be efficacious as a bust developer. For two years prior to the date of incorporation of the respondent, this cream was sold as a bust developer by a copartnership, consisting of W. Harry Titus and Victor W. Titus, president and vice president, respectively, of respondent corporation and now the principal stockholders there· of. Victor ,V. Titus is the manager of respondent's said business. NANCY LEE INSTITUTE 317 314 Findings The respondent's methods of sale are: It forms contact with its customers and prospective customers through magazine advertisements in which it is stated that upon the receipt of one dollar a large container of Nancy Lee Miracle Cream with instructions and free book in plain wrapper will be sent to the purchaser. Upon receipt of the dollar by respondent a three-fourths ounce jar of Nancy Lee Miracle Cream is sent to the purchaser. With this jar comes a little pamphlet containing some meager instructions as to massaging the breasts with the cream and a few suggestions as to diet and exercise. With this small container of Nancy Lee Miracle Cream is enclosed a statement that if the purchaser desires a seven ounce jar of Nancy Lee Miracle Cream she must pay five dollars for it and with it she will receive further instructions. These further instructions consist of more extensive instructions for diet and many suggestions for strenuous exercise. Nothing is now or has ever been said in respondent's magazine advertising about diet or exercise as a part of the treatment or instructions. One does not know that she must take a course of diet and exercise in order to increase the size of her bust until after she has parted with her first dollar. Prior to February 3, 1931, nothing was said in the magazine advertising about a treatment in connection with the use of this cream; since said date the words miracle cream and treatment have been used therein but this advertising which brings about the contact between the respondent and its customer does not disclose what the treatment is or what the instructions are and the purchaser is led to believe therefrom that it is the cream alone which enlarges the breasts. The respondent does an annual business in the sale of said Nancy Lee Miracle Cream of approximately $40,000. PAR. 2. Respondent causes said Nancy Lee Miracle Cream when so sold to be transported through the United States mails from its place of business in the city of New York, State of New York, into and through other States of the United States to purchasers who are the ultimate consumers thereof to their respective places of residence. PAR. 3. In the course and conduct of its said business respondent is in competition with other individuals, partnerships and corporations likewise engaged in the sale and transportation in commerce between and among the various States of the United States of masbage creams, apparatuses and mechanical devices for use for the same purposes as respondent's said Nancy Lee Miracle Cream; among which are F. E. 'Villiams of the Williams Sanative Company of Buffalo, N.Y., who sells Peerless 'Vonder Cream used in connection with the development of the bust; the Olive Company of Clarinda, Iowa, which markets a breast pump for use in the develop- Findings 17F.T.C.
ment of the breasts; the Renault Company of Baltimore; the Irving Strain Company of Baltimore; all of which manufacture and sell in interstate commerce a cream used in connection with the development of the breasts.
PAR. 4. Respondent advertises said Nancy Lee Miracle Cream in magazines of general circulation throughout the United States, such as Film Fun, Photoplay, True Romances, Picture Plays, Physical Culture, Corset Publications, Young's Magazine, Breezy, Movie Romances, and The Household Journal, and also in letters, circulars, booklets, purported testimonials, and other literature and photographs purporting to be descriptive of the merits of said product sent through the United States mails. In and through such media the following, among other similar statements and representations, were and are used and made by respondent in the aid of the sale of its said cream:

Now your breasts can function normally. They can breathe once more. Once again they are able to cast off waste and poison. Now they can assimilate the natural food-oils they have been striving for.

A few minutes each day and-presto-you have the natural womanly curves that fashion demands, that women envy and men frankly admire. Did you notice, too, how l\Ilracle Cream is asborbed.

You can only see the results. Just why is your bust under-developed? Do you know? I'll tell you! It's because of paralyzed po-res. Your body lacks the vital oils that nature provides to nourish and build up the breasts. The pores of your breasts are paralyzed and so clogged with wastes and impurities that they cannot breathe. If you have used other developing creams or lotion, you have gotten no results because they could not penetrate beyond those stopped-up pores. Therein lies the great secret of the superiority of my famous Miracle Cream. It penetrates I IN TESTIMONIALS Since I have been using the Miracle treatment my appearance bas improved wonderfully, 1\Iy dresses look much better on me and this summer when I put on a bathing suit I was no longer conscious of small thin breasts.

Pictorial arrangements.-Respondent sends out many pictures purporting to show the busts of many women before and after using Nancy Lee Miracle Cream showing enlargements of the bust purporting to be due to the use of Nancy Lee Miracle Cream. In magazines.-The following testimonials appear in the advertisements of Nancy Lee :Miracle Cream in 1932 issues of the magazines named in paragraph 4 hereof:

Thank you for your kindness. The first jar of Miracle Cream r1itl a lot of good. It certainly fo11ns your breasts to a marvelous shape. I am enclosing a picture of myself in a bathing suit. Miss l1. D. Kapak, New York.
I am the mother of four children, although very young, my bust became flabby and started to sag. I 1·early thought there was no possible chance of ever restoring them to their original firmness. Now, after completing the treatment of the 5-ounce jar, I have once again achieved fot· myself that feminine loveliness which I thought was out of my life forever. You sure did give it the proper name Miracle Cream. Mrs. M. M., New York, N.Y.
The respondent has expended the sum of approximately $12,000 per annum in so advertising the said product. PAR. 5. The statements and representations described in paragraph 4 hereof are false and misleading in that: ( 1) Nancy Lee 1\Iirncle Cream does not and cannot nourish the tissues of starved or shrunken breasts or stimulate the circulation thereof;
(2) Nancy Lee Miracle Cream will not work wonders nor will its use increase the size of the breasts;
(3) Nancy Lee Miracle Cream will not prevent the saggmg or drooping of the breasts;
( 4) Nancy Lee Miracle Cream will not increase the size of the breasts from one to three inches nor at all; ( 5) Nancy Lee Miracle Cream does not and cannot fill out the contours of the breasts;
(6) The use of Nancy Lee Miracle Cream will not bring about full, firm, lovely breasts, or fashionable forms or either of them; NANCY LEE INSTITUTE 321 314 Findings (7) The use of Nancy Lee Miracle Cream does not insure permanently or at all round or firm breasts.
(8) Nancy Lee Miracle Cream does not and cannot replenish or nourish the glands or tissues nor does it restimulate them nor does it make them elastic or youthful or energetic. Nancy Lee Miracle Cream does not penetrate the flesh nor does it stir sluggish cells to activity nor does it restore or revitalize tissues. (9) Nancy Lee Miracle Cream does not and cannot prevent the weakening of vital tissues.
(10) Nancy Lee Miracle Cream does not reach every organ orany organ of the breasts either inside or out. (11) One may not and cannot mould the breasts to different shapes by the use o£ Nancy Lee Miracle Cream.
{12) The advertising of respondent holds out that Nancy Lee Miracle Cream is scientifically prepared. In Commission's Exhibit 54 the following appears as a part of respondent's advertising: It is scientific. The treatment works with magic quickness A few minutes each day-and presto-you have the natural womanly curves that fashion demands, that women envy and men frankly admire. No one but Victor 'rV. Titus, vice president of respondent, a youth of 23, with no professional training whatsoever, has testified that the cream is scientifically prepared. The formula for this mixture was purchased by the said Victor ,V, Titus and his brother about four years ago, according to the testimony of the said Victor 'rV. Titus, from a physician whose name he does not now recall. According to the testimony of Alexander G. Murray, chemist, P. W. Spickard, M.D., and V. S. McDaniel, M.D., all of the Food and Drug Control of the Department o£ Agriculture, Nancy Lee Miracle Cream is not scientifically prepared.
Nancy Lee .Miracle Cream consists approximately of 30 to 60 percent water, a mixture of paraffin products, such as petroleum and a fatty or waxy substance, such as wool fat, approximately 40 percent, with a trace of borax. Nancy Lee Miracle Cream is no more effective than vaseline in developing the breasts of a woman and Vaseline is not effective at all. Nancy Lee Miracle Cream acts only as a lubricant but there is no value to its use as a breast develop~r-. Nancy Lee .Miracle Cream is nothing but a massage cream. It is not scientifically prepared.
(13) In all of respondent's advertising it is the virtues of the <Team, not the treatment, that are featured. In some of its advertisements the treatment is not mentioned. 'Vherever the word Findings 17F.T.C.
treatment is used by respondent in its advertisements it is so negligibly set forth and the words Miracle Cream so featured as to deceive even a careful reader into the belief that it is the cream alone for which all claims are made. It appears therefrom that it is the cream which will develop the bust from one to three inches by the mere application thereof; that it is the cream that will lift the sagging breasts; and that it is the cream that will restore feminine loveliness. {14) There was no woman by the name of Nancy Lee connected with the respondent until about four months ago. After several hearings in this matter were had, Victor '\V. Titus, vice president of the respondent, caused the name of his sister to be changed by the courts of New York to the name of Nancy Lee. At this time the true name of his said sister was Edna. Weimer but she had assumed the name of :Mary Titus. Edna Weimer is and was connected with the respondent as a stenographer only. Her duties are to send out form letters on the subject of bust development. Edn1. Weimer, Mary Titus, or Nancy Lee, or by whatever name she may be called, is 22 years of age and has had no training as a doctor, dietician, or chemist. For four years this cream has been sold under the name of Nancy Lee Miracle Cream. All letters and advertising matter dealing with this cream hold out to purchasers and prospective purchasers that there is a woman named Nancy Lee who is the manufacturer of and who is personally in charge of the sale of and correspondence with reference to this cream. In truth and in fact the manager and person in charge of the business of respondent, including all advertising and the preparation of these form letters, is a man.
(15) Many pictures of women with tremendous busts are used by respondent in its advertising of the said cream, the reasonable inference being that these large busts are obtained by the use of Nancy Lee Miracle Cream. Some of these pictures are mere photographs of drawings dressed up to look like actual photographs of women. Others are of women who have not used Nancy Lee :hliracle Cream at all.
The following is illustrative of how respondent obtains some of these pictures. On page 1 of Commission's Exhibit 39 appears the picture of a very beautiful woman. It is the picture of Miss Jeanne Carroll, of New York City, and depicts her as possessing a beautiful, Bhapely and well-developed bust. This picture was obtained and used by respondent without Miss Carroll's consent. It has been "dressed up " so as to show an abnormally developed bust, while NANCY LEE INSTITUTE 323 314 Findings Miss Carroll's bust is actually small. The following is some of Miss Carroll's testimony with reference to this picture: That Is my picture on page 1 of Ex. 39;
It is not a true production;
The bust has been enlarged ;
I never had a bust as large as the one pictured there; I have never used Nancy Lee Miracle Cream; I never authorized the use of this picture; I do not know bow respondent came in possession of it; I did not know that they were in possession of it until my attention was called to its use in respondent's advertising last July; Until that time I did not know there was such an institution as Nancy Lee Institute;
I never had any correspondence with them;
I never had any business relations with them in any way; Since then I have seen my picture in connection with the advertisements of Nancy Lee in periodicals;
They were True Romances, the Hollywood Magazines, the Silver Screen, Screen People ;
It was the same picture as appeared here on the first page of Com. Ex. 39; All of these pictures bad the exaggerated size of the bust that is shown in Com. Ex. 39.
The following is the explanation of Victor W. Titus, vice president of respondent, as to how this picture was obtained: I wanted a picture for the front page of the book (referring to the front page of Com. Ex. 39) so we went to the Mitchell Studio, 1496 Broadway and I went in there and asked for a picture of a girl to use in the pamphlet. I tnentioned just what it was for and we went through allout 500 pictures and I picked this particular picture out and I purchased it and paid him for it and got a receipt for it and I have been using it for about two years in the front of the book.
Q. Do you change all of the pictur·es? A. Not all. In some cases where the woman has a large bust we do not change and in some cases we do. In the case of the Jeanne Carroll picture there was nothing done to the picture only to darken the negative just a little, to bring out the bust and make them a little more prominent. PAR. 6. Each and all of the representations as to the efficacy of Nancy Lee .Miracle Cream, contained in the advertising as set forth above, had and have the tendency and capacity to mislead and deceive the purchasers and prospective purchasers of respondent's said Nancy Lee Miracle Cream into the belief that such representations are true and to induce them to purchase respondent's said Nancy Lee Miracle Cream in such belief, and had and have the tendency and capacity to unfairly divert trade from said competitors to respondent.
Order 17 F.T.C.
PAR. 7. Prior to the filing of the complaint herein respondent ceased the manufacture and sale of Dermo Cream and ceased to trade under the name of Mary Titus.
CONCLUSION The practices of the said respondent, under the conditions and circumstances described in the foregoing findings, are to the prejudice of the public and respondent's competitors, and are unfair methods of competition in interstate commerce, and constitute a violation of an Act of Congress approved September 26, 1914, entitled "An act to create a Federal Trade Commission, to define its powers and duties, and for other purposes."

(q) Or from advertising Nancy Lee Miracle Cream in connection with any treatment for developing the bust unless it is clearly indicated that its only virtue is as a lubricant in massage. It is further ordered, That the charges of the complaint as to Dermo Cream and as to respondent's trading under the name of Mary Titus be, and they are hereby dismissed.
It is further ordered, That the said respondent shall, within 60 days after the service upon it of a copy of this order, file with the Commission a report in writing setting forth in detail the manner and form in which it has complied with the order to cease and desist hereinbefore set forth.
