At the time of the Internal Revenue department investigation J. Harold Ryan, chairman of the BMB board said: "BMB's cooperative, non profit nature stems directly from the fact that the job it does can only be done by that kind of an organization. BMB sprang from the oft-expressed need for advertisers, agencies and broadcasters for a tripartite, co-operative non-profit research organization.
