PACE « • PLAtNDEALER-WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1976 EDITORIALS American Sales One of the great commercial institutions of the United Sates is the sale. There are, of course, sales in the Old World countries, but they tend to come less often and they are, in most cases, genuine semi-annual or annual sales. In America, where competition is keener (to the benefit of the buyer) the word "sale" is used as an eye-catcher to lure people into a store. Certain major stores, some of them nation-wide, have a sale in progress at all times. ^ Thus the American buyer has been, and is being, steadily trained to watch out for sales ads in the newspapers and wait for* special prices-when merchandise goes on sale. It has reached the stage where smarter buyers, and those who must watch their pennies, feel they are suckers if they pay the normal, or listed price, for many items and appliances; The great game is to select genuine sales from phony sales~and a close monitoring of the newspaper over a period of time helps provide the answer. Festivals And Fairs With the end of summer, looking back on this recreational time, it occurs to us that festivals have sprung up all over the Middle West, and in other parts of the country-in recent years. They seem to represent an urge by local and rural communities to get themselves on the map, attract tourist dollars and have some fun. Many of them are somewhat like county fairs, but many are specialty events, the theme being local or based on the local activity or the area's primary profession. These festivals and county fairs are a worthwhile tradition. They bring people together, offering rural folk an easy meeting place and fun spot often not available otherwise. Local merchants have sometimes complained about the money taken out of communities ty traveling fair or carnival organizations; if the money spent can ^ kept at home, as much as possible, so much the better. jlThe point is that every community has a right to a place on the pap, in the sun, which encourages civic pride. And, this year, nndidates for the presidency and vice-presidency have visited ijpme for campaigning. js A G. Edwards & Sons, Inc. Weekly Market Review ie betting odds that Tampa Bay wins the Super Bowl this year 1 probably not as great as the odds you could have gotten in early & binary if you had predicted current economic conditions and the rel of stock prices today. If it were not so frustrating, investors lid be amused by the unbelievable change in the mood of the1 cet and the almost complete lack of interest in stocks despite favorable economic outlook. You would have been run out of i if you projected rio change in the Dow Industrials despite a 30 •rcent increase in corporate earnings, a very strong bond cet, a 5-6 percent underlying rate of inflation as compared to )le4igit levels only a few years ago, and an economic recovery )at it sacrificing exuberance for longevity. 1 It says in the text books that market analysis shoud always expect ' ^unexpected but the past seven months have been ridiculous, spite a really fantastic confluence of strong fundamentals, the lustrial average has remained in a very tight 950-1018 trading ;e and most stocks have experienced steep corrections. The cet has danced up to the 1000 level fourteen times now only to stocks become wallflowers and then wilt. This past week no evidence that the market overall is breaking out of its >usly, this is disappointing for us bulls, but the only lclusion we draw is that one should continue to place no l the market to make winners-it is still up to individual it is still very tough, SoHRTifify we will have, in our opinion, a strong market but until then the price paid for mistakes is heavy. In such a selective, unforgiving market, investors must stick with interesting companies and very reasonable multiples as sooner or later these issues will attract dollars unless the bull is dead. We believe aggressive portfolios should have a relatively heavy weighting in rapid growth, consumer related companies. A number of secondary issues in this group are selling at price-earnings multiples that reflect almost no confidence in the outlook for consumer spending. Recent predictions by the Commerce department confirm our confidence in selected companies which benefit from capital spending. The fast food group has also been dragging but growth prospects remain very favorable and representation is suggested. HERE AND THERE IN BUSINESS Richmond Man Heads Illinois Chamber Commoreo i I-- ? • Amos E.

MOBILE INFORMATION An unique motor van, the Chicago-based Blue Cross and For Your Information Doar friends, A public funeral allows the community to offer its support and share the sorrow of the bereaved family. A renowned pas­ toral psychologist suggests "the funeral and varied events that surround the cer­ emony are for those who live on." A private funeral arbitrarily shuts out many relatives, friends, and associates who sincerely wish to bring comfort to the bereaved.

A POCKETFUL OF ICE CREAM Put some ice cream in your pocket for a quick refreshment next time you're out boating. Sound like a crazy idea? Freeze-dried ice cream is only one of many new kinds of foods available to outdoor enthusiasts. Research by the outdoor recreation department at Mer­ cury outboards shows that food processing technology has made great strides in recent years. In fact, now it is possible to pre­ pare a complete dinner at a remote lakeshore site, using only one pan for cooking and never getting that pan dirty! Freeze drying works on the principle that by super-quick removal of moisture from foods, it is possible to preserve them with a minimum of pack­ aging. As long as freeze-dried foods are protected from air and water, they will remain preserved. The freeze-dried ice cream, for instance, is wrapped in plas­ tic then packaged in air-tight aluminum foil. When you open the package the ice cream is in small, flat pieces, not over one- half inch thick. It should be eaten as it is, and it tastes just like ice cream that you buy from the frozen foods case. How about that meal you can cook without getting the pan 'Ofay? Some freeze-dried roods ttff cooked before the moisture is removed, so all you have to do is add hot water and wait a few minutes until the food has absorbed it. This kind of dinner comes in its own reinforced plastic bag into which you pour the hot water. You need a pan to heat the water, of course, but that doesn't make it dirty. The gang at Mercury sug­ gests you try a few of these new convenience foods the next time you're out for a day on the lake. They're quick and easy to fix, just right for busy families who -- instead of cooking -- would rather spend their time water skiing, cruising, fishing and hav­ ing fun.
