Printers' Ink Model Statute
This is the text of the Printers' Ink Model Statute, a law proposed by advertisers in 1911 to address the problem of false advertising

Printers' Ink was famous for proposing a model law that created criminal penalties for false advertising in 1911. It was widely adopted in states, however few prosecutors brought cases under it, because of prosecutorial resource constraints, and because it imposed strict liability (that is, the state did not have to prove intent to deceive) on false advertisers.[5]
