Sharp Decline

PITTSBURGH, April rs
(APJ Westinghouse Electric
Corp. said today It's net income
for the first quarter took a
sharp nosedive compared to
the same period year ago.
Net income was $9,067, 900, or
Is cents a share, compared to
$19,496, 900, or SIS cents a share,
in the first quarter of 1860.
Mark w. Cresap, jr., West
inghouse president, said the
drop was the result of the gen.
eral business decline, price
softening in the industry, and
increases in labor and material
costs.
But Mr.. Cresap said he ex-
poets a business improvement
by the second half of this year
and added that 1861 sales could
go as high as last years and
possibly slightly higher.
Net sales in the first quarter
amounted to $436. 103, 900 COM

into signing an agreement.
2. Once you're decided to
pursue the deal, Immediately
check the franchiser's reputa-
ton with the local Better Bust
ness Bureau. This is a must.
Also find out what information
you can get on the firm from
a trade association or trade
journal in the field. the nearest
Chamber Of Commerce, your
bank or lawyer.
8. Assuming that so far
everything appears fine, ask
and get satisfactory answers to
such key questions as these:
On the offering firm: How long
has 1t been In business? What
is its financial record? How
selective is it in choosing
holders Of its franchises?
More Questions
On the product: How long
has 1t been on the market? Is
1t comparatively priced. attrac-
lively packaged? Would you
buy it on its merits? Is it a
staple or a fad, an all-year
seller or seasonal itemp
On the territory: Is it COM
pletely defined and your exclu-
sive representation thoroughly
protected? Is the territory large
enough, increasing or decreas-
ing in population? How have
former franchisers made out
in the territory, and how are
nearby franchiserS making out?
On your contract and rela-
tionship with the franchiser:
Does your own attorney say
the contract protects you? Does
the franchiser pledge sufficient
training for you and continu-
ing guidance?
OF course. the above is sket-
chy. but with this as a begin
ming you can get the additional
advice you need.
Remember, when you buy a
franchise. you're starting a
small buSineSs-and the odds
Of failure in a small business
are steep to start with. Don't
make the odds overwhelming
by falling into franchise trap.

Among those agreeing to
'cutbacks are locals of the
United Auto Workers, the
Allied Industrials Workers, the
Railway Brotherhoods, the
Amalgamated Meat Cutters and
the International Association

Vote to Continue Cut
In one case early this year,
some 500 JAW members voted
2 to at Menominee, Mich,
to continue in effect a 10 per
cent wage cut they had &C
cepted a year earlier. Involved
were employees of the Lloyd
Manufacturing Co., a maker of
seating for schools and public
buildings. The firm is a sub
sidiary Of Haywood Wakefield
Co., Of Gardner, Mass, where
employees previously had agreed
to continue a 10 per cent cut
they accepted for 1860.
In both instances Haywood
Wakefield expressed doubt 1t
could meet competition with
out the cutback. 1t said both
the Michigan and Massachu-
sets plants might have to be
closed.
The Menominee union first
rejected continuation, on
grounds the JAW cutback had
saved the company $175.000 in
: 1860, while individual living
costs were rising. The COM
'pany countered it had lost
$685. 900 last year and esti-
mated its current Nenominee
wage at $1.99 an hour. 1t said
losses had been higher in 1858
Sand 1859.
5 In a subsequent second vote,
the union decided 235-102 to
continue the cutback.

Beware: Rockets III /
~ SYLVIA PORTER

You can earn a nice living
in your own business by invest
ing in a franchise permitting
you to operate. say, a drive in
eating place. a roadside stand
an automatic laundry, a dry
cleaning unit, etc.-if you buy
your franchise from a reputable
firm, II you are licensed to sell
in a good territory, II you are
given sufficient training, II you
work for your profits.
The fact that you can pros
per explains why franchise SELL
ing has grown so rapidly in the
last few years. why there are
now hundreds Of franchise
companies licensing tens upon
tens Of thousands Of businesses
to sell a tremendous variety of
products and services.
You also can lose your nest
egg and break your heart-it
you are tricked into investing
with q fly-by-night outfit
which will license you to sell
an unSaleable product or serv-
ice, give you a new, exclusive
territory which is neither new
nor exclusive, put you on your
own after only q day or two
Of training, etc.
This fact explains why
Questionable franchise deals
were ranked in No. 2 place
among consumer frauds last
year by the National Better
Business Bureau and a spokes-
man for the Association of
Better Business Bureaus told
me that, one Of the greatest
services q series of this sort
can. perform is warning those
interested in buying franchises
Of the pitfalls and the facts
they must get for their own
protection before investing"
In broad outline. when you
invest in a franchise, you buy
the exclusive right to sell spe-
Gifted products or services in a
defined territory under terms
set forth in the contract you
sign. At its best, a franchise
gives you q chance to be in
your own business with the
right to sell known products
or services under a national
name and with the guidance
Of an experienced franchiser
behind you. At worst, a fran
chise can be q swindle and a
trap.

Mr.. Kennedy demonstrated
some Of the extraordinary
candor Of which he is capable
in discussing the aid pro-
gram with industrialists,
labor leaders and educators
who had Joined to support his
program. He told Of his plans
for organization of the new

contemplated. and asked for
help in stating it with more
people Of the highest ability.
Out Of the meeting may come
more candid talks with mem
bers Of Cengress, some Of

The President is aware
that while a slowly increasing
number Of nations can use
foreign aid most effectively,
there are others where fail
ures are almost certain to
result. But in these cases,
and in private he names

would almost certainly be an
invitation for Soviet or per-
