The FTC said the Scott & Fetzer Co., Cleveland, Ohio, was one of the largest vacuum cleaner manufacturers in the industry, with sales of more than $15 million in 1958. The complaint charged the company tried to "scare" prospective purchasers by say ing that the "Kirby" would correct a dangerous germ infested condition of their rugs and mattresses.

Raking Leaves Can Get To Be Problem With Some Trees Corvalis You say your back feels like you've raked a million leaves this fall. You're probably right and likely then some, say foresters and horticulturists at Oregon State college. The average apple tree or maple, they point out, has in the neighborhood of 100. 000 leaves. Cherry trees have a few more because they're usally larger; pear trees have about 10 to 15 per cent less. But they can't hold a rake alongside an elm. It's esti mated that some of those giant trees may have 1,000, 000 leaves. There's about a half-acre of leaf surface, by the way, on most hardwoods oaks, madrone, sycamore, etc. Just be thankful though that you don't have to rake Douglas fir needles. An av erage fir has about 3,000, 000. The largest sewer in an cient Rome, the Cloaca Maxi ma, is part of the modern city's drainage system. Products andServices Said To Be Better Than Ever Values By HENRY J. BECHTOLD UPI Financial Editor New York (UPI) E. I. Du Pont de Nemours and Co. be lieves the price is right. In a book let, "The Story of Price s," the giant in dustrial con cern says that despite the rising price trend, prod ucts and serv ices represent Henry Bcctiloid a better buy today than they ever did in the past. Living standards, as meas red by the consumer's ability to buy the things he needs and wants, are the highest the world has ever known at any time or in any place, ac cording to the booklet. It describes the price struc ture as an inseparable part of the American economy, "an economy that is at once consumer-controlled and consumer-centered," and shows how the price structure evolved to meet the growing and chang ing needs of the American people. More Money Available Du Pont says prices on in dividual items may be higher today than they were in earlier times, but people have far more money to spend. Me chanization and industrializa tion have swiftly increased man's ability to produce the goods and services he needs, and thus have increased his buying power, it states in the 32-page illustrated booklet. Operating on the premise that the customer is always right, the producer, distribu tor and vendor have made it their business to hold prices down and push values up, the booklet says. Of course critics have been quick to note that such a consumer-centered economy is subject to abuses and to fanci ful excursions, such as coon skin caps, hula hoops and tail fins on automobiles. But, the booklet declares, this indulgence in nonsense by the American consumer from time to time is the mark of a free and prosperous so ciety. The only alternative is an economy in which someone else which has to mean the government tells the consu mer what is good for him, what he should buy, and what the price shall be. This captive market ap proach has been tried in many nations, most notably in the modern world by the Soviet Union. But it has only result ed in higher prices, poorer values, gluts and shortages, and a low living standard. Observing that America long ago chose to build its economy on a competitive base, with the price structure free from arbitrary control, the booklet notes, "it has never regretted its choice." An estimated 39,500,000 car radio sets were in use in the United States in 1958. Missing Ring Found In Advertising Mail Red Bank, N.J.-When Wal. ter J. Bennett lost his wed ding band at work, he wasn't too hopeful of seeing it again.

Bennett, a multiple sclero sis victim, works at a center for the handicapped which has a contract to stuff envel opes with promotional litera ture for an industrial firm. Bennett got his ring back.
