Even The Ancient Romans Used Premiums
4
Chalk up another ''first” for the ancient Romans.
While tne Premium Industry sees itself as just 100 years old this
year, an enterprising cosmetic maker in ancient Rome allegedly provided
his customers with a gold-mount
ed wolf’s tooth” or an “Egyptian
Scarab” to make his customers
happier
While this cosmetic maker may
have had some insight into busi
ness psychology, he hardly could
have imagined that the Premium
businss — the offering of valuable
premiums through the saving of
coupons — would develop into a
billion dollar annual business.
In fact, the world’s largest Coop
erative Premium Plan has estab
lished more than 2,000 premium
stores and premium distributors
in the Eastern States. Not a single
cent passes hands in these unique
stores, only coupons in return for
valuable premiums.
Experienced savers assert that a
family of five easily can amass
about 1,500 coupons a year. It’s no
wonder the Premium Store or Pre
mium Distributor is becoming a
popular local institution.
• This Cooperative Premium Plan,
incidentally, provides one of the
easiest ways to accumulate valu
able coupons. These eight com
panies have joined together so that
the thrifty housewife can save cou
pons carried in a number of non
competing staple, widely-adver
tised products. In this plan, the
coupons can be collected from Oc
tagon Soap Products, Raleigh Cig
arettes, Luzianne Coffee and Tea,
Borden’s Silver Cow Evaporated
Milk and Magnolia Condensed
Milks, Hearth Club Baking Pow
der, La Rosa Macaroni Products,
Ballard’s Obelisk Flour and Cake
Mixes, and Mrs Filbert’s Marga
rine, Mayonnaise and Salad Prod
ucts.

At a typical Cooperative Pre*
m.um Plan Store, where the cus
tomers turn in coupons instead
ot spending any money, clerk
Jeni Freeland gets ready to show
a arge enameled roaster, avail- i
able for 325 coupons.
Raleigh Cigarettes only recently
joined the cooperative plan and
one cigarette coupon will be worth
two of the Cooperators' coupons.
Brown and Williamson Corpora
tion at the same time is continuing
the* independent operation of their
Raleigh Premium Plan in Louis
ville, Ky., and will accept for re
demption only Raleigh 711 counons.
Negotiations To Settle
Iran's Costly Oil Dispute
Again Are Broken Off
TEHRAN, Iran, (/P)—1The presi
dent of the Iranian senate said
Saturday Premier Mohammed
Mossadegh and a five-man mis
sion from the International Bank
have broken off negotiations to4
settle Iran’s costly oil dispute with
Britain.
A committee of senators urged
Robert L. Garner, the bank’s vice
president, to keep his delegates
in Iran and try to resume the
talks.
The mission this week offered
Mossadegh a face-saving plan to
start the 1 Vz billion dollar in
dustry pouring forth its oil prod
ucts again—a plan to let the bank
run it until Iran and Britain agree
on a settlement.

Housewife
Performs Own
Dental Surgery
WAYNE, W. Va., (/P)—'The 25
year-old wife of a coal miner
here does her own dental surgery
with a sterilized safety razor
blade, pulls her own teeth with
an old pair of forceps and says it
“doesn’t hurt as much” as a visit
to a dentist.
Mrs. Paul Napier, who has
pulled 13 of her own teeth and
has 11 left to go, got into busi
ness after a dentist had extracted
two teeth.
Abcesses developed, so she ster
ilized a safety razor blade, lanced
the gums, probed and worked out
the bits of bone she said were
causing the trouble.
The surgery healed properly,
but aches developed in other
teeth so she decided they all must
go. She resurrected an old pair
of forceps her grandfather owned
—“teeth pliers,” she called them
—and went to work.
“The eye teeth were the worst,”
Mrs. Napier said. It took two
days of tugging whenever she
could stand it to get one of them
out. Her technique improved with
experience, however, and on her
best day she removed five. Seven
uppers and four lowers remain.
