- DIVISION 7. GENERAL BUSINESS REGULATIONS
- PART 3. REPRESENTATIONS TO THE PUBLIC
- CHAPTER 1. ADVERTISING
- Article 2. Particular Offenses
It shall be unlawful for any person, firm, corporation or
association to sell or offer for sale any surplus materials as
defined in the Federal Surplus Property Act of 1944, being Chapter
479, Public Laws United States 457, approved October 3, 1944, if such
person, firm, corporation or association does business, carries on
or trades under or in any way uses in dealing with the public,
directly or indirectly, any name which by reason of the inclusion of
a word or words such as "Army," "Navy," "United States," "Federal,"
"treasury," "procurement," "G.I.," or any others which connote the
United States Government or its armed forces or any of its
departments or agencies, has a tendency to lead the purchasing public
to believe, contrary to fact, that the establishment at which such
materials are offered for sale has some official relationship to the
United States Government or that all of the articles sold or offered
for sale are such surplus materials or that the articles there sold
are of higher quality and lower prices than those elsewhere
obtainable; provided, however, that this section shall not prohibit
the continued use of a trade name by an establishment which for three
years prior to the effective date of this section has continually
used such word or words as its trade name or as a portion thereof.
