Your Moneys Worth
Research Throws Doubt on Promotion Programs
By Sylvia Porter

for the bra-girdle combina-
ton. ..
What am I doing here? This:
Reporting the results of some
of the newest depth" surveys
of you, the average American
consumer.
1t has become a rage, this
eagerness of makers and sellers
of everything from hairpins to
houses, to find out what you
want so the manufacturers can
make it for you and the re-
tailers can sell it to you.
"It's the psycho-economic
age" says Ernest Dichter, presi-
dent of the Institute for Re-
search in Mass Motivations.
There has been a tremendous
growth in the motivation re-
search field in the past year, "
confirms James M. Weary, head
of the marketing research firm
of that name.
1t is another symbol Of the
middle-class revolution which
has marked this century. 1t is
another tribute to us and to our
power to make or break any
product, shape, design or style.
