OverwOrked Claim
Another way to annoy us is
to overworE a claim. We ap-
prove of ads which emphasize
the ease of use of a product.
But a detergent which makes
dirt disappear Just on contact?
What housewife doesn't know
that the dirt won't disappear
unless she scrubs. too?
A third way to Illustrate us
is to overdo the testimonial.
Actually the most successful
testimonial ads today spool the
approach.
A fourth way to arouse our
mistruSt is to threaten us. Who
wants to be intimidated into
using a product by the sugges-
ton that we'll be socially os-
tracized if we don't?
I'VE think we've spotted a
trend" said Kenneth M. Reiss
of Sales Management when 1
called to get the story behind
the story. 1T is toward factual,
hard-sell advertising, toward
naming names and laying out
the facts so the consumer can
believe what he reads"
The fact that a serious trade
publication considers it news
that advertising is showing
signs of a switch to honest
selling comparison" is the real
news, of course. Imagine the
massive sales upheavals that
would result if American in
dustry ever decided to go all
out for the truth and nothing
but!

More forecasts, some of them

Motors engine experts Carl F.
Carts and Craig Marks predict
the conventional gasoline en-
gine is going to be with us a
long time and that the turbine
engine will require a lot more
research before it fits into the
passenger-car picture.
George ]. Huebner, jr., of
Chrysler, told the Associated
Press Ben Phlegar of a new
turbine power plant to be in
stalled for road testing in a
Dodge truck and a Dart or

the "contractural plan" or
periodic payment plan" Un-
der law the load" or commits
sion cost. Of the plan cannot
average out to more than 8
per cent of the investment.
But-and it is a big but"
1t is legal for so per cent of
the payment the first year to
go into commissions. This
means that if an investor wants
to redeem his stock-Sell it
back to the trust-he suffers a
big loss. He could put in $4,000
the first year, but if he then
decides to get out he will re-
ceive back only $1,000, plus
whatever dividends he has OBJ
tained.
Big Sales Effort
Why would anyone want to
buy this "front-end load" pro-
gram? Several reasons are ad-
vanced by authorities. One is
that it receives a big push from
statesmen. Another is a small
tax advantage, but that really
shows up only for large invest
ors. A third is the low down
payment, which can be as little
as $40, and the monthly pay
ments after that, which can be
as low as $40.
These plans are being sold
very actively, according to the
Securities and Exchange Com
mission, and are very success
full. To achieve the full ad-
vantage of such a plan the
buyer must save. If he drops
out PARKWAY through the con-
tract he loses, because the ini-
tial payments go more for COM
missions than investment.
Many individuals do not re-
alize this pitfall, even though
it must be stated right on the
first page Of the fund pros
pectus.
The fact that most invest
ment companies don't want
trouble from the SEC leads to
a self-policing Of the industry
by the National Association of
Securities Dealers that has
proved very effective.
