We refunders value such friends and we show our appreciation in small ways, sucji as putting their names and addresses on some of the gift offers we send for. Dear June: Last year , I sent in proofs-of-purchase for Lipton's $5 meat refund offer. The offer required several proofs and I was not able to staple all of them to the refund form as I Usually do. I stapled as many as possibly to the form and stapled the together. Two months later I received a refusal letter from Lipton stating that I had not sent in the proper number of proofs. They returned the refund form and the proofs that had been stapled to it. The second batch of proofs was missing. I thought about this and felt certain that J had, indeed^sent in the proper proofs. If I wrote them, would they believe me? I decided to write and explain how I had sent in the proofs. I asked if it were possible that the fulfillment company had ac­ cidentally lost some of the proofs since they were not all stapled together.

Dear Cathy: I always tell people who have problems with refund offers to write to the manufacturers. In the majority of cases, the'company is more than happy to solve the problem. As your experience shows, they want to keep the goodwill of their loyal customers. What's to prevent someone from taking advantage of a company? Believe me, the c u s t o m e r r e l a t i o n s professionals who read these letters spot most of the phonies and they have computers to keep track of those who abuse the system. SMART SHOPPER AWARD The Smart Shopper Award goes to Nina Heffelfinger of Wernersville, Pa.,: "I had two coupons each worth $1.10 on the purchase of Jhirmach Shampoo and Con­ ditioner.
