Cisco developed a carburetor for automobiles, which he called the CiscoCarb. He advertised the carburetor in a national automobile magazine in a full-page advertisement under a caption that read: Proven Performance-80 kilometres to a litre of gas in any car. The advertisement offered the carburetor for $100 on a 30-day, money back guarantee. Unless proper testing was done to substantiate the claim of 80 kilometres to a litre, a failure of the goods to perform as stated would constitute false or misleading advertising.

If Cisco did not conduct proper testing to verify the claim of 80 kilometres to a litre, the advertisement could be considered false or misleading, violating advertising standards and potentially consumer protection laws.
