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.

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.
Early Start -
The bonus idea originated in
1851 when a savvy soap maker
