\ ^®Vwi8af> Coupon clipper By June Fuller Antipasto ideal with casserole Dear June: In looking back at the refund re­ quests I never received, it seems that quite a few of them were for offers that contained the words "Offer" or "Re­ fund" or "Free," or named an amount of money. Periiaps this tips off some unscrupulous peo­ ple that the envelope contains some valuable material. Would you ad­ vise me to leave such words out of the address on a refund request? If I lust put the post office box number wouldn't it get to the proper place? - Paula, Medford, N.J. Dear Paula: 1 went right to the source and spoke to a represen­ tative of the Neilsen Clearninghouse. Re told me that refund request envelopes are sorted by box number, and if the name of the offer is omitted, it would pro­ bably still be handled correctly and in the same amount of time. But he didn't seem very enthusiastic about the idea of leaving out the name of the offer. He says the name of the offer serves as further confirmation that the refund request is in the right place at the right time. Perhaps a better idea >t'u would be to modify the ~ name slightly so it is " recognizable by the :: clearinghouse but not by someone else who may •; be looking for valuable •• mail to steal. N For instance, instead .1 of writing in the offer . address "Thank You •: Pudding Refund Offer, «; P.O. Box..." try writing, "Thank You Pudding, ;; P.O. Box..." This slight ;; change is hardly likely ~ to create a problem at • • the clearinghouse -- and '•> hardly likely to attract I the attention of a thief. Three Cheers.
