Food Prices
Not Alone in
Merchandising

PROGRESS REPORT NO. 44

periment Station The Pennsyl
vania State University
University Park. Pa.
Food prices are not the only
nor most important factors that
move merchandise, especially
such produce items as lettuce,
potatoes, tomatoes, carrots and
mushrooms In fact, many home
makers indicated a willingness
to pay a premium when such
merchandise was offered in
clean, attractively packaged,
units of various sizes. These are
slime of the findings reported by
Dr. W. A. Lee after a series of
experiments in the Pittsburgh
Markets with numerous items
The marketing studies by the
Pennsylvania Agricultural Sta
tion are being continued to test
various methods for selling more
products in the supermarkets
Attractive displays were an
important item, in moving the
homemaker to select her pur
chase. A variety of packages,
offering units to meet needs of
varied sized families improved
sales. Also, sales jumped when
potatoes were washed in one sur
vey, and they went up when
merchandise 'was displayed in
easy-to-examine transparent con
tainers
Dr. Lee reports that washed
potatoes, even when priced at a
premium, boosted sales when
offered with unwashed potatoes.
Carrots moved Rapidly when
both one-pound and two-pound
containers were displayed.
Similarly, tomatoes packed in
transparent plastic tubes moved
more rapidly than similar
tomatoes in cardboard tubes,
even at premium prices- Better
visibility builds sales in produce
but only when an attractive pro
duct is on display, Dr. Lee
points out.
“Many things in addition to
price are in meeting
the demands and needs of to
day’s homemakers in food pur
chases”, he commented.

Q. My husband asked me to
put $3OO toward repairing a
building, saying when it is
finished, he will rent out apart
ments, and I would get half the
rent every month. Now, after he
got the money, he changed his
plans and will use the building
for a warehouse for his use.
What I want to know, is that
getting money under false pre
tense? I need the money. I don’t
get support from him; I never
did He says I can’t do anything
about it. Can I?
HKAVY Hi
)SHATt I I
rear l . ‘"l
A. It is extremely doubtful
whether your husband could be
charged with the crime of ob
taining money for false pre
tenses. At most, he appears to
be guilty of breach of contract,
for which you could sue him in
a civil action. You can also have
him arrested for non-support, in
which action the court will en
ter an order requiring him re
gularly to pay you a fixed sum,
consistent with his income and
circumstances, for your support
and maintenance.
Q I called a repairman to fix
a washing machine part. He
promised to fix it and return in
10 days It is almost two months
now. I’ve had to send my wash
out and I’ve called him at least
eight times (out of town calls)
all this an added expense be
sides being terribly aggravated
with the delay. Whenever I call
ed they would answer “we’ll
take care of it today ” What can
I do to bring this matter to an
end’
A. We suggest making demand
for return of the part involved
and seeking aid from a new re
pairman. If your demand pro
duces no results, you may bring
an action of replevin against
the repairman for the return of
the part, and you might also sue
him for the damages caused you
for his delay, providing you-can
prove them with certainty Per
haps a call from your attorney
to the repairman would show
him the difficulty he is causing
you and thus bung his prompt
attention to your request-
