Consumers' Research is a defunct non-profit organization established in 1929 by Stuart Chase and F.J. Schlink after the success of their book Your Money's Worth: a study in the waste of the Consumer's Dollar galvanized interest in testing products on behalf of consumers. It published a monthly magazine called Consumers' Research Bulletin. Staff from this organization protested and left to form Consumers Union in 1936. The magazine published by Consumers Union, now called Consumer Reports, gained popularity and market share over the Bulletin and supplanted its relevance.

Famous quotes containing the word research:
“Men talk, but rarely about anything personal. Recent research on friendship ... has shown that male relationships are based on shared activities: men tend to do things together rather than simply be together.... Female friendships, particularly close friendships, are usually based on self-disclosure, or on talking about intimate aspects of their lives.”
—Bettina Arndt (20th century)
