Trade and Civic Organizations
Trade and civic organizations are organizations of certain kinds of merchants, or of merchants and professionals who all belong to a nationally recognized organization that sets standards for the types of work they do or products they sell. Communities also have Better Business Bureaus, which businesses may join if they wish to build their reputation in the community. Listings of these kinds of organizations can be easily found in the public library. They are a good starting point if you are new to the community and need to find professional services or sources of products. The Better Business Bureau also puts out its A to Z Buying Guide which gives excellent guidelines for informed shopping. Next Section: Consumer Resources Public Services I: Chapter Home
