Interesting; quite long-lasting zombie. An organization founded in 1929, but which basically died in 1936, and is somehow still being resurrected today!
Seems it was the precursor of Consumer Reports, but CR was founded when the majority of the staff left in 1936 and founded a new publication. In the 77 years since, it seems the old organization's main achievement is still... that place everyone left to found Consumer Reports.

Not a real consumer research site either - operator obviously bought up a defunct brand and relaunched it: http://consumersresearch.org/?p=6
