Coupon Saving Becomes
Billion Dollar Business
By GAY PAULEY
UPI Women' Edilor
New York-rPfl-If it'll save
money in the grocery divi
sion, most of us are all for it.
That is why in recent
months I find myself franti
cally saving coupons, adding
this habit to older ones of
pasting trading stamps in lit
tle books or finishing such
lines as "I like Mrs. Gulek's
bean soup because."
It turns out that I'm just
one of the millions of women
who today at a record rate
are saving coupons like crazy
from soap, cereal, coffee, froz
en food and other grocery
products. Those little slips of
paper announcing "five cents
off on next purchase" add
up to a billion dollar busi
ness.
Coupon-ing has reached the
stage that now shoppers can
buy an entire magazine of
nothing but coupons to re
turn to the manufacturer for
cash.
Coupon Us Increases
"Some 10 billion coupons
worth ' 1 billion dollars are
offered annually as extra
food and grocery money,
said Paul S. Willis, president
of the' Grocery Manufacturers
of America. "Their use is
steadily increasing; they are
very popular."
Add this cash-in value to
the worth of merchandise
given through trading stamps
and other premium methods
and we consumers are receiv
ing 3.4 billion dollars a year
in "extras" at our markets,
retailers say.
The Premium Advertising
Association of America esti
mated the total wholesale
value of premiums other than
coupon "cash" at 2.4 billion
dollars a year. This latter fig
ure includes trading stamps,
box-top offers, the in-package
products ranging from dishes
to toys, and awards in con
tests to complete a limerick
or finish a line such as "I
like so-and-so detergent be
cause." Started in 1853
Both trading stamps and
coupons are old in the mer
chandising world. Most sources
credit a soap manufacturer
with starting coupons in 1853.
Schuster's department store
In Milwaukee offered trading
stamps in 1892, and stamps
as we know them today at
food markets, gasoline sta
tions, drug and other stores,
were Introduced in 1896 by
Sperry and Hutchinson.
A spokesman for S and H
aid the trading stamp "boom"
began In the 1940's when food
stores began offering them.
The firm now estimates that
35 million families save theirs
and or their competitors'
stamps.
The retail value of mer
chandise exchanged runs be
tween 450 and 500 million
dollars a year. And premiums
range from blankets to bar
becue equipment to baseball
bats. Some stamp firms offer
theater tickets and trips.

To boost the coupon busi
ness, and also ease the book
keeping headaches of mer
chants, the Kable Printing
company, is out with "Coupon
lagazine." which costs the
shopper 20 cents but includes
S5 in coupons redeemable in
cash.
Its publishers say the cir
culation of the first edition
was two million copies to
stores along the Atlantic
coast. Its second edition, May
14. is expected to reach three
million in the East and an
other two million on the Pa
cific coast.
All the homemaker needs
do is clip the coupons, save
parts of packages or wrappers
as prescribed on each, mail
to a central point, and get a
check back. And, buy the
products of course.
PTA Will Buy
Library Books
Members of Wilson School
Parent - Teacher association

was part of the proceeds real

president, presided over the
regular monthly meeting in
the cafeteria Friday afternoon.
Principal speaker was Herbert
Partridge, youth director of

Move Pictures
Advises Gallery Experts
Washington Move the pic
tures about on your walls as
you do your furniture.
That s the advice from ex
perts at the National Gallery
of Art. They contend it is re
freshing to change the loca
tion of pictures because "you
see them in a new light and
often you see new things in
them it's much more inter
esting than having the same
picture hang in the same
place on the same wall for 20
years."
The ideal thing, according
to the experts, is to have
enough good pictures to alter
nate them with the seasons,
hanging some and storing oth
ers. The next best thing, they
say, is to move pictures from
one room to another. But if
that is not feasible, they ad
vise changing the pictures
from one wall to another in
the same room.
A Gallery authority, asked
for pointers in hanging pic
tures, told an interviewer
from the National Associa
tion of Home Builders:
"What some think good
taste others would recoil from
in horror it's a personal mat
ter, like furnishing a home or
picking out the clothes you
wear."
However, she said, there are
some general rules. She ex
plained:
"An important picture
should be made the focal point
of the room. It should be hung
on the best wall where it gets
the best light. But a glass-
framed ' picture shouldn't be
hung opposite a window for
it will reflect the light and
seem like a mirror.
"You should never have a
painting over a fireplace
although so many do be
cause this dries out the paint.
But it is even worse to hang
a picture over a radiator. The
constant heat during a large
part of the year, coming up
in waves, dries out the paint,
the frame and the paper."
The height of pictures
should be governed largely
by the furniture, the experts
said. "You- have got to have
a picture clear the furniture
and the heads of people sit
ting on a sofa."
A sense of unity is achieved
she continued, by having pic
tures at a similar level around
a room although there may
be exceptions to this because
of pieces of furniture. But she
cautioned:
"It is the centers of the pic
tures that should be at the
same level. To have their
lower edges at the same dis
tance from the floor makes a
stark straight line around the
room that is not pleasant."
Mixing All Right
Don't be afraid to mix dif
ferent periods of art. The gal
lery official explained enthus
iastically: "The best things of every
period will always go togeth
er beautifully and that is
where you get an interesting
home and an interesting en
vironment. If you have every
thing of one period, you have

an unimaginative room that
could look quite dead."
As to the frame for a pic
ture,, the expert was emphatic:
"Keep it simple," she said.
"The matter of framing should
be considered individually for
each picture to bring out its
qualities.
"If you have no ideas of
your own, browse through a
museum in your area and find
out how they framed pictures
of the same type."
She "believed people could
make better use of their local
museums than they do, add
ing: "We have good local mu
seums in the country and they
are filled with community
spirit."

"As far as I know the only

which was converted to a mu

we don't know anyone who

funniest around," said Direc

about a young lady who has
her whole life planned in de

Her plans .are upset, and so

countries attended the festi
val. Although national Girl
Scout authorities had selected
the girls on the basis of talent
and achievement, they were
surprised to find so many par
ticipants of professional or
semi-professional calibre. A
large percentage of these girls
had received their training in
music, dramatics and the arts
in Girl Scouting.
At the present time, the
Girl Scouts are producing
along with National Broad
casting company and the Edu
cational Television and Radio
Center at Ann Arbor, Mich.,
a nationwide television series
called "Adventuring in the
Hand Arts." The first of its
kind to be initiated by a youth
organization, the ten-week se
ries is designed to stimulate
more creative arts programs
among Girl Scout troops.
In addition to special arts
projects, the Girl Scout or
ganizations uses many tech
niques to .bring its arts pro
gram to thousands of Girl
Scout troops, leaders point
out. Basically, girls begin to
learn about the arts through
the personal example of troop
leaders and troop consultants.
To carry out its growing
arts program, the Girl Scouts
also produce and distribute a
training film called "Adven
turing in the Arts," a special
paper-back handbook called
"Exploring the Hand Arts,"
song books, records, and
audio-visual aids.
Although the Girl Scouts
are alert to new ways of
strengthening its arts pro
gram, arts and creativity have
been traditionally an impor
tant part of Girl Scouting.
Juliette Low who began
Girl Scouting in the United
States 47 years ago, was her
self an accomplished artist
and sculptress. When Mrs.
Low. started the first Girl
Scout troops, she felt that the
arts should be a basic part of
their training so that young
sters, too, would be able to
discover enjoyment, whole
some recreation and achieve
ment by creating beautiful
things.
Girl Scouts who were to be
America's future homemak
ers, she felt, should be able to
approach cooking, decoration,
fashion and entertainment
with a creative flair. Mrs.
Low maintained, even early
in the century, that good
healthiness and good citizen
ship need not exclude the
fine arts.
While the "You Can Count
on Her to be Creative" theme
is not new in Girl Scouting, it
is another indication of a
growing interest among the
young people in both fine and
personal arts, Girl Scout ex
ecutives believe.
