Quick to Make! Installment Plan For Premiums is Newest Gimmick Last year, Bowen reported, the dollar volume of premium climbed to the record total of $1.6 billion compared with the pre-war peak of $500 million in 1940. Approximately one - third of the 1956 total was in trading stamps alone, said George Bider man, an association spokesman. Biderman credited the book to the growing competition for the consumer's dollar. The premium industry slumped during World War II, he explained, because the manufacturer or retailer didn't need to "sell." Many prod ucts were so scarce the house wife grabbed what wai avail able. Mora Expensive The trend in all premiums i to the more expensive, said Bow en, because of the "general up grading of consumer taste." It used to be that the housewife mailed in a box top plus a quar ter for a premium. Now, iff more likely to be, "send In one box top plus $1 for ..." Bowen said housewares prob ably outnumber all other typei of premiums, although extras these days include hosiery, pow er tools, sports equipment, bar becue gadgetry, and shrubbery. One form offers a rose bush. By CAY PAULEY United Press Correspondent New York (U.P.) A tobacco company In Virginia is offering premiums on the installment plan. This is the newest gimmiik in the fantastic business of indu cing us consumers to buy more through offers of extra values from the prize in the box of cracker jack to the Cadillac of fered in a jingle completion con test. The tobacco company, with headquarters in Richmond, op erates its pay-as-you-use plan much the same way any other in stallment plan operates. Make a down payment on a premium, such as an electric iron or flashlight, of perhaps 15 coupons from packages of the company's cigarets or pipe tobac co. Mail in the coupons, name the premium you want, it is sent you immediately,- and you go on mailing coupons each month-until the premium is clear. The tobacco company's plan is part of the post-war boom in the 106-year-old premium industry, said Gordon C. Bowen, president of the Premium Association of America.
