Supermarkets may help make savings easier SECTION 2 - PAGE 3 - PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 22,1964 By June Fuller Dear June: I found a super­ market in my area that goes to the trouble of distributing to its customers envelopes full of manufacturers' refund forms. Each time I go shopping, I pick up one of these envelopes and find a variety of worthwhile offers. I thought this was such a good idea that I wrote to the other supermarkets in my area, suggesting that they do the same thing. The response has been very favorable. Not. only did I receive a reply from the managers of each supermarket, assuring me that the matter would be carefully considered, but they also sent me several refund forms that happened to be available. If this idea seems like a good one, why don't you ask your readers to write to their local supermarkets and make the same suggestion? It could start a whole new way of distributing refund forms.-Ann White, Mt. Clemens, Mich. Coupon Clipper point of view, any distribution is better than none. I say, let's give it a try. So, I am urging readers who shop at supermarkets that display few refund forms to write to these stores and ask that they test a system of distributing the forms in envelopes available at the customer service desk or the checkout counter to shoppers who ask for them. If a store in your area tries an envelope system for distributing refund forms, please let me know. Give me the name and address of the store so I can call the manager and find out whether the store's experience with this system is favorable. Write to me in care of this paper. Here's a refund form to write for: A $1 refund or $2 cash- coupon refund. TRONOLANE Savings Offer Certificates, P.O. Box PM 209, El Paso, TX 79966. Send you name and address on a 3-by-5 card. This offer expires Dec. 31,1984. While waiting for the form, save entire front panel showing the net weight or sup­ pository count from Tronolane cream or suppositories (except trial size), and the register tape. Here is this week's list of refund offers.

Write to me in care of THE COUPON CLIPPER, United Feature Syndicate, 200 Park Ave., New York, N.Y. 10166. odstock belief studio On the Square 113Vi Benton Street Dear Ann: I like your suggestion. Supermarkets that would put refund forms in en­ velopes and offer them to customers would certainly win a vote of thanks from a lot of refunders. This method would also prevent a lot of "pad grabbing." After considering your letter I wondered what the manufacturers would think of this. I decided to call several marketing people who are responsible ' for refund promotions. I told them how enthusiastic you were about the system and asked for their opinions. A few of them were quick to express reservations. They said they would rather see their refund forms diplayed right under the refunded * product at what they call the • "point of purchase." And, although it appears only a small percentage of the refund form pads are ever displayed on the shelves, these executives said they would leave it up to the supermarket to find the best way to distribute the refund forms. They said that if the store chose to distribute them in envelopes, then they had no objection.
