At long last Federal Trade
Commission has launched a full
scale investigation of couponing
practices. And in doing so, FTC
has invoked seldom used compul
sory process to get information
from a few huge corporations
who have been using the coupon
ing -method to drive out Indepen
dent regionall
competition
t steamroller
drive that
moves from
city to city.
The back
ground Is inter
esting. In Sep
tember 1953,
Sen. James
Duff, heading C.W. Harder
ub committee of Senate Small
Business Committee asked FTC
to report on course being taken
to probe couponing practices.
Of course, the monopoly inves
tigation branch of the FTC has
been the heaviest cut, although
the agency seems to find plenty
of time to read over a half mil
lion radio and television commer
cials annually, even though evi
dence is- strong public doesn't
place too much credibility in any
non-printed advertising claims.
But for whatever reason Sen
ate Small Business Committee
found FTC was not getting the
evidence. The National Federa
tion of Independent Business was
asked to gather data.
On the basis of this data Sen.
Edward Thye, committee chair
man, called on FTC for action
now. In annauncing FTC is pro
ceeding on matter, Chairman
Edward Howrey stated FTC is
being forced to use compulsory
processes against several big
corporations to get more facta.
The facts about couponing are
many. For example, an indepen
dent regional soap maker or
flour miller, may be doing a fine
Kitluntl Federation of Independent Rustnesl
Job In some metropolitan market
to distress of big national opera
tors who even with their huge na
tional campaigns cannot dislodge
independent competition.
So these corporations give
away their merchandise by mail
ing coupons to all householders
offering a cutprice with the cou
pon. These coupons are carried
at a loss to the U. S. Post Office
to every home in area selected.
No Independent regional man
ufacturer can stand this pres
sure, because unlike the big firm
seeking to drive him out, be
doesn't have customers all over
nation who are paying for give
aways in a special local market.
In fact, these Investigations may
establish that people In non-metropolitan
areas are paying an
excessive price for these nation
al products to build big corpor
ation war chests needed to knock
off Independent regional compe
titors one by one, city by city.
In addition, couponing prac
tice has reached a point where
by several large corporations
will get together to include coup
ons for their respective products
in one mailing.
Some are enclosing In their
packages a coupon good for cut
price purchase of an Item put
out by another packing giant.
Thus there appears to be at high
corporation level a club which
might be called LJWOJIC Club,
which spelled out means "Let's
Jointly Wreck Our Joint Inde
pendent Competition."
Start of FTC action against big
Interests is no guarantee to early
successful conclusion.
But on this issue both Senate
and House Small Business Com
mittee as well as independent
businessmen will be looking over
FTC shoulder because survival
cf Independent regional manu
facturing Is at stake.

S.f work habits arul all possible safety precautions should be a natural,
automatic part of the work you do every day on your farm! They're things
to think about each morning as you start your chores.
Remember always to be especially careful when working
around power lines with portable irrigation pipe or derricks!
' Please telephone your local PP&L office when you plan to
move any tall equipment under power lines.
Hie dependable electric service you get from Pacific Power can be used in
many wayi to make farming safer, as well as easier, more productive and
more profitable. Good lighting in the barn, the yards and other work areas,
for instance, is an important part of any safety program! By helping with
more than 200 jobs around the farm, electricity helps to prevent accidents
by saving strain, effort and time. Use it to help you!
Rcddy Kilowatt, your "Electric Hired Hand", once again urges you to
be careful and to observe Farm Safety Week each of the 32 weeks throughi ,

Safety Strips Urged
For Farm Equipment
Campaign by 4-H and FFA
members to apply reflector strips
on all farm equipment will get
underway in Oregon during na-;
tional farm safety week, July 25 j
to' 31. Al Bauer, chairman of the
governor's farm safety committ
tee, said the project will continue
throughout the year.
Actually applying the reflective
material is a part of the "lite
farm equipment" safety project,
Bauer said.
The Oregon campaign is part
of a nation-wide activity of the
national safety council's farm
division. All reflectors sold by
the 4-H and FFA members will
bear the green cross of the safety
council.
Burton S. Hutton, state 4-H
leader, said distribution to 4-H
members will be handled through
county leader associations. FFA
members will get their materials
through district advisory councils,
according to Ralph Morgan, state
FFA advisor.
The Oregon state traffic safety
division has given support to the
program according to Bauer, tie
pointed out that Oregon law now
requires all farm equipment on
roads to be lighted with head
lights and tail light. The reflec
tor strips will make a good sup
plement and will add to the
safety.
The safety council advises that
reflector strips be placed at the
outer edges of the rear of equip
ment so the entire width will be
visible to motorists.
