Probably because they’re too busy adding up their trading stamps Such singlemindedness has helped make the tiny trading stamp a retailing oddity just a decade ago one c! the mightiest and most dynamic marketing tools in U S business Three out of four American families save the colorful little coupons they collect “for free" on purchases ranging from gum to grand pianos They paste the stamps in books and swap them for almost everything from ashtrays to European trips Lately the stamps are even being bestowed on those who make savings banks deposits vote in local elections and take tuberculosis tests What’s more churches dubs and other groups have taken to collecting the stamps to acquire such costly items as organs buses and oxygen tents UNCLE SAM SAVES Oddly enough probably the biggest stamp saver of all the fed- eral government lias yet to redeem any of Its trading stamp treasure Nobody even knows how many stamps the government has tucked away or how much they might be worth Last fall the General Account- ing Office decided federal employes must tarn in stamps they receive on' government business Stacks of the stamps are now piling up at federal agencies No one knows how they will be redeemed The government refuses to paste its stocks of stamps into books One stamp firm has offered to redeem them in bulk but below their going cash value So far the government has balked at this of- fer While the government hoards its growing nest egg an estimated 5000 civic charitable church and school groups are cashing in on the stamp boom through group savings plans Through group plans for instance the St Francis Parish School in Provo Utah last December got three new 66 passenger buses for 9572 books holding 11 million stamps and St Luke’s School in Hohokus N J recently acquired a Mammon organ for 1144 books containing 1372800 stamps FIRE ENGINE Group plans also have secured a new fire engine for North Lawrence Ohio complete equipment for a classroom for Mt

afford and create a feeling of getting something for nothing The explosive expansion of stamps has not gone unopposed They have been fought grimly by strong elements in the retail trade Antistamp bills have been unfurled to little avail in more than 40 state legislatures Critics condemn trading stamps as a burden on the storekeeper and a fraud upon the housewife Advocates though hail them as a sales stimulant a boon to small business n a thrift incentive and an weapon Actually the stamps are nothing pew They cropped up first in dry goods stores during the 1890s Then they fell from fashion prior to World War I and all but died out during the depression and World War II The stamp stampede really got rolling after the Korean War The boom began in the Midwest and rapidly spilled across the land Sales the Industry says rose from 40 million dollars or two per cent of total retail trade in 1952 to 375 million dollars or 10 per cent of retail trade by 1936 Sales last year vaulted to 600 million dollars or 15 per cent of retail trade anti-inflatio- companies are reaping immense profits from the stamps shoppers neglect to trade in however The big companies maintain that more than 95 per cent of the stamps are redeemed And their taxes are figured on that basis The New’ Jersey Supreme Court supported the stamp companies by ruling early this year that the state could not demand money from Sperry & Hutchinson Co for unredeemed stamps The state had sought to collect $7615000 from the company under escheat laws which permit the state to seize unclaimed personal property Despite frequent forecasts that it would wear out fast the stamp craze shows few signs of fading The stamp companies in fact are talking about big expansion Superior Awards Presented to Ten At Supply Depot

in the manufacture and repair branch $28200 men the Currently stamp say trend is running to the costlier items Critics contend the housewife pays higher prices at stamp giving stores because the merchant must compensate for the cost of the stamp pads The stamp companies insist that in most cases the stamps drum up increased business which more than offsets the store’s expense A U S Agriculture Department survey last year showed prices are 06 per cent higher at stamp giving stores but the value of the stamps amounts to about 2 per cent of the money spent at those stores “The consumer benefits by the extent of this difference” the department concluded “That is if you don’t count the time and trouble it takes to save and redeem these stamps” Redemptions are another bone of contention Critics argue the stamp If the two present boards of edu cation follow precedents set by past boards there will be little if any chopping of the two budgets before they are adopted at public hearings later this month The Weber Board of Education last week gave tentative approval to a $5777962 budget submitted by Supt T H Bell Earlier the Ogden Board of Education tentatively adopted an $8992510 budget proposed by Supt T O Smith Salaries account for more than half of the two budgets — $3023000 — with teachers getting the lion’s share $6404310 The second largest item in the combined budgets is $2653625 for classroom construction Other expenditures include $1062570 for school lunches $479600 interest on debt $180930 for administration and $135000 for textbooks The city
