The Durant news. (Durant, Miss.) 1882-1985, 1949-02-10

One Of this country's most fab
ulous characters is Bing Crosby.
OF course you know him as one
whom most people consider to be
the best popular singer in our
land. But genius seems to shower
itself sometimes on certain peo-
pie Bing owns a baseball club,
"a string of race horses, a cosmet-
les factory and numerous other
enterprises which are expertly
managed by his brother. 1t is a
far cry from the time l saw and
heard him back in the late twen-
ties as an unidentified member of
trio singing with Paul Whit
mans orchestra.
The Durant news. (Durant, Miss.) 1882-1985, 1949-02-10

petition has been sidetracked so
far as one big creative" phase OF
the industry is concerned. That
would be research in man-made
rubber 1t has been slowed to
a walk, at least sonce the war
rubber problem was licked, by a
patent pool which, since Deem
Der 19, 194l, has bound the major
companies and a few other par
ties to make all their discoveries
in this realm available to all
corners.
But now John L Collyer, pres
ident of B. F. Goodrich, indicates
that this gate may soon be un-
locked. All the American sign
ers of the wartime pact, he says,
have agreed on terms for dis
solving it, and all they're wait
ing for gov is concurrence by
Canada, which is involved through
similar agreement. Besides, he
points out, the Rubber Act OF
1948 made mandatory an "early"
ending of the one-for-all agree
ment. The BIG head predicts
that research in this big-potential
field will speed up markedly as
soon as it gets back into a really
competitive footing.
Bits O. Business
MAKE your product easy to
USE" That's sound, time-tested
merchandising principle. But the
two principal phonograph record
companies violated this basic rule,
and in doing so have just about
halted their own sales. Each
company is bringing out long
playing records. But each brand
requires different type of play
er. So, reports the Wall Street
Journal, customers have become
SO confused that sales are drop
ping disastrously. People are
waiting until they can be sure
the records they buy will not
quickly become obsolete. This is
certainly not in line with the fam
ed merchandising idea that sold
oil for the lamps of China by
first flooding China with cheap
oil burning lamps; except in one
respect: that one company is al
most giving away long player
attachments nowadays to stimuli
ate sales of its type of records. In
another realm, candy bar manu-
facturers are increasing the size of
their nickel products, rejecting
decrease in the costs of sugar
and cocoa, and as a means of Of
