The biggest firm in the trad ing stamp field in Britain so far is the Greenshield Trading Co., which now claims about two thirds of the market. The second biggest scheme is the "gift coupon" group which GOP Asks Where Crisis Will Occur OKLAHOMA CITY (UPD The Oklahoma Republic a n State Committee announced Wednesday a contest "to find . out the crisis that will occur just before the 1964 elections."

OREGON, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1963 accounts for about 20 per cent) of the market, and the rest is split among smaller units j about 30 companies in all. ! A price - cutting war almost' became inevitable recently when Pricerite, a group of gro cers in southern England with 27 stores, became the first mem ber of the National Association of Multiple Grocers to start is suing stamps. Breaks Agreement In introducing Green Shield stamps in certain shops, they allegedly broke a "gentleman's agreement" among association members, which already had been preached by the decision PAGES 1 to 10 of Garfield Weston's Fine Fare group a large store chain to introduce S. and H. stamps next month. ; A majority of association members remain firmly against trading stamps. But there are signs some of them may be weakening. Price cutting in certain com modities is being planned as a counter to shops offering trad ing stamps. But one multiple store director said: "You can't price-cut forever. It could be a short and vicious war and the housewife will benefit from it, while it lasts." At the recent annual co-operative congress which met on the Isle of Man, J. H. Jacques, chairman of the Co-operative . union s trading advisory torn-) ; mittee. advised his group ' against becoming responsible (or starting a gift stamp ar! i because it would eventually lead .to rising prices. i j Lists Arguments ; I Jacques listed three main ar-j gummts against stamp trad-1 ; ins: 1 Of the amount spent by a I trader on stamps, too little goes to the customer. The value ot jthe "gifts" received by cus J tomers is approximately half (what the trader pays for the stamps. There would be a big in crease in administrative work in retail branches, and this could net be done without some reduction in the standard of sen il e to the customer. To meet the cost of .stamp trading, a retail branch would need to increase its business by between 15 and 20 per tent or sock the customer. But J. Murphy, vice president of the Carmarthen Society, which is the only society in Brita.n that has started its own stamp trading scheme, said the co-operative movement should get in on the ground floor of stamp trading by starting its own schemes. "We cannot afford to ignore it because it is definitely com ing." he sail. "We should be the last people to complain about gimmicks. We already have them with tea and cigarettes. It . is true that stamps are another 'gimmick, but it is one that is j here to stay."
