Upper Brackets Favor
Ads, Gallup Study Finds

The Gallup group said the
Redbook survey results ARE
in direct contradiction to the
beliefs Of many psychologists
and social scientists, who have
long held that a rising educa-
tional level results in greater
resistance to advertising Sug-
gestion."
These psychologists have
said that intelligence con-
stitutes an automatic check on
"suggestibility," the Gallup re-
port said, and that, in effect,
the smarter you are, the more
skeptical you are of advertise
ing"
The Gallup group said it
found the opposite to pe true.
Advertising was found to be
most popular, Gallup said, with
those who have attended high
school or college, those 10 to
A years of age, and those in
the upper socio-economic level,
"These groups" the Gallup
report said, ARE most likely to
believe that advertising makes
things easier for the consumer.
and that advertising creates
sales. They also have a higher
than average preference for
advertised products"
In its analysis of the Ameri-
can public's attitude toward
advertising and name brands.
the Gallup group said its sur.
vey showed that rs per cent.
If faced with the choice of an
advertised or an unadvertised
product that cost the same.
would choose the advertised
product.
The report found 81 per cent
Of those questioned in the Ma.
tion-Wide survey took the posi-
ton that advertising helps
keep the country prosperous
because it creates sales"
In contrast, it said, 81 per
cent said that in their opinion
advertising increases the cost
of things they buy. These
feelings were strong among the
college educated and among the
business and professional peo-
pie"

cessory charges brought against

tober 2 by Baltimore police as

Both a TV war and increased
cooperation between East and
West in the television fields
were reported today in a United
States Information Agency
survey.
The Tv conflict centered in
Germany, where officials OF
both sides viewed with alarm
the shows beamed, on their
screen from across the Iron
Curtain.
The cooperation ranged from
East-West exchanges of Tele-
vision films to speculation that
the 1854 Olympic games in
Toyko will be telecast world
wide through use of earth sat-.
elites. =
The number Of broadcasting
stations and receiving sets is
multiplying nearly everywhere,
USIA added.
On September 80, the total
number of transmitters had
climbed more than so per cent
worldwide over the previous
IL months to a new high of
985 and the number of receivers
had risen nearly 80 per cent to
28,047,7O0.
The free world station total
was listed at 819, compared
with 166 in the Communist
oloc. The free worlds receiver
total was given as "a million. a
gain of 1.8 million over the past
six months. The Communist
total was put at 4 million, an
Increase of 100000.
These figures do not include
Russian production of perhaps
3 million sets during the half
year, or any of the United
States-Canadian statistics. The
United States last year pro-
duced nearly 6 million sets and
had more than 381a million in
use.
In Germany, USIA said

NEW YORK, Oct. 10 (AP).-
A professional research organ
ization says most Americans,
especially those in the higher
economic, social and educa-
tional groups, favorably accept
advertising.
The primary reason for the
approval of advertising, the re-
search group said. was that
advertising provides informa-
ton about the availability,
quality, price, and brand of
products"

vertising was made for Red

Ohio Power Co.
Sales Revenue
At All-Time High

Ohio Power Co.'S total sales,
revenues and expenses in 1858
reached all-time highs, it was an
nounced this week by A. N. Prem
tice, Canton, vice president and
general manager of the COM
pany.
During the year the company's
$50, 900 customers purchased 8.S-
billion kilowatthourS of electric
energy, Ia per cent higher than
in 1857. in spite of only modest
gains in sales of power to most
classifications of customers, he
said.
Primarily responsible for the
record sales was the coming in
to full production of the new alu-
minum industry in the Ohio val
ley. The increasing use of energy
by that industry during 1858
made ii possible for Ohio Power
to show gains in XVIII sales over
1857 totals, the general manager
said.
Sale Of electricity to CONNER
cial customers was up only "a
per cent over the previous year,
residential customers purchased
ST. per cent more power but in
the industrial category of Gus
toners, sales were up 1872 per
cent over 1857, attributable in
large measure to the tremendous
power requirements of the alumni
mum industry.
Operating in So Ohio counties,
Ohio Power had revenues of
more than $112, 7lS,000 and ex-
penses amounting to S92, 349, 900,
That gave the company a net i'm
come of about $40, 1868, 900 as COM
pared to $19, 725, 900 in 1857.
Mapor items of expense were

Back in 1893 when Cincinnati
had a population a little less than
500 persons, about 100 buildings,
cabins and stores included, and
the whole business part of the
town was centered around Front
and Main and up Front to Broad

town, merchants were cutting
prices right and left, and COM
petition was ruinous. Besides this

Reciprocal Trade"

In this story the writer finds
much food for close reading and
deep meditation by himself as
well as merchants, shopkeepers,
mechanics and professional peo-
pie throughout the towns and en-
virons where it may be read.
Though not intended, the les
son is there and the author has

Cincinnati and had more and bet
ter stores. Encroaching compe-
tition had put the town in a bad
way.
Not until a trader from some
where in the east arrived with a
train of "a pack-horses loaded
with goods did the Cincinnati
merchants wake up. In a Novem-
Der, 1898, issue of the Centinel of
the Northwest Territory, the first
town newspaper, a notice ap-
peared requesting "all mer-
chants, tavern keepers and 9th
ers holding County licenses to
meet at the house of John Grier
on Front street the night of No
vember 90, 1898, to consult about
matters concerning themselves
only" Unnamed and with no idea
| of it being such at all perhaps,
thus was organized the first
Chamber of Commerce or Busi-
ness Mems club.
What was said or done at the
meeting this writer has no way
of ascertaining - but nobody at
all in the town bought a shilling's
worth from the trader from out
side and he barely escaped be-
ing lynched.
Immediately after that meeting
trade picked up in all the Cincin-
natl shops and stores. Every
body was getting some business
and the world looked brighter.
Apparently that was the advent
of reciprocal trade, believed to
have been discussed and decided
on at the recent merchants and
tavern keepers meeting. And il
was working.
The shoemakerS patroniZed
Deacon Wade's lanyard. Citizens
and merchants traded if at al
possible at Samuel Dicks gro
Gerry. Taverns sold beer from
James Gillespie's little brewery
and the brewer bought his casks
from John Dealy's cooper shop.
Nehemiah Hunt got his share OF
the shoemaker trade and all the
food stores sold flour and meal
from Abraham Garrison's corn
cracker mill on Main street.
Merchants who sold no shoes
bought their own from local shoe
shops, and their meats from John
Miller'S butcher shop, the first
in town. Levi Munsel had a bar
rel house" where he sold spirits,
cordials and brandy in ten-gallon
lots and the tavern keepers got
theirs there. Joseph Prince paid
cash for furs and made hats -
the rest of the town wore them.
| Business was good at Henry
Moody's bake shop, only one in
town, and he was out of "store
made bread" every evening. DR..
Robert Mcclure sold medicines
at his office -- the first Cincin-
natl drug store, and the rest of
the town bought it, paid their
bills more promptly and brought
the bottles back. Bottles were
scarce on the frontier.
Smith and Findlay, James
Ferguson, David Ziegler, Thorn
as Gibson and the other general
merchants in the place all trad
ed among each other, even buy
ing there things found in their
own stores. William Wilson'S,
Daniel Duffy's, Samuel Free
mans and the other later stores
did the same and Peter Welch,
hairdresser and perfumer found
his business picking up - every
body was perking up a bit.
Business was brisk and every
body began to prosper. The pio-
neer Cincinnati merchants were
trading around among each 9TH
er - and nowhere else. Recip-
rocal trade and in it there is
