Lawrence Edward Winkler,
A&M’s starting left tackle, never
won a high school football letter.
But the boy who spent most of
his high school football days on
the Temple B squad is now a top
Aggie lineman.
Winkler already holds one
varsity letter. He played 146 min
utes last year as a sophomore.
Larry came to A&M from Tem
ple as an unheralded freshman. By
the end of the season, his spirit
and determination had won him a
starting berth on the Fish team.
This year, Winkler has been an
outstanding lineman for the Ag
gies. His precision blocking has
opened large holes in opponents’
forward walls. His hard tackling
has been one of the main reasons
for the fine defensive showing of
the Aggies this year.
Although Winkler has done yeo
man service in every game his
great play in the Kentucky game
helped put the Aggies off to a
winning start.
“Wink” has two older brothers
who played football. Jim was an
all-southwest conference tackle for
A&M, and in 1952 was an all-pro- j Lawrence is the youngest of four
tackle for the Los Angeles Rams, sons of Mr. & Mrs. O. A. Winkler
Bernie Winkler was an all-border of The Grove, a small community
conference tackle for Texas Tech. | 16 miles from Temple.
At A&M he is intelligence serge
ant for the third battalion, first
regiment and is a member of the
“T” association.

The Purpose of Our Talk or Trading
TRADING STAMP "FADS" RUN IN CYCLES. THESE CYCLES USUALLY LAST APPROXIMATELY FOUR YEARS.
The first year (or less) is usually marked by the
greatest enthusiasm by both the customer and the mer
chant. While the merchant must show a minimum gain
of 9% in sales with no added expenses to offset the
cost of the “stamps,” this usually can be
PORARILY during the first several months
customer stil does not realize how little
stamps actually have in exchange for the
don TEM-
. And the
value the
premiums.

For instance, the floor polisher mentioned last week
cost the stamp company probably less than it would a
wholesale grocer, or somewhat less than $30.00. Yet
the customer must buy $2,220 worth of goods on which
the stamps are all redeemed; and
the merchant must buy from the
stamp company an additional num
ber of stamps to cover probably
A another $2,220 ; in shies that are
"jljr NEVER REDEEMED., If. our-,gupss
1 that only half the stamps obtained
are ever redeemed, these figures
would be correct. Thus the mer
chant pays the stamp company
$88.00 cash in advance for the prel
mimum the customer eventually
gets “Free.”

Usually during the second year
so many of the customers lose in
terest in the deal that the volume
of business done by the merchant
falls. His “breakeven” figure in
sofar as the “Stamps” are concern
ed, is a volume 109%- of his start
ing volume. Assuming his initial
net profits were 2% (a recent Dun
and Bradstreet survey of 81 stores
doing an annual volume between
$200,000 and $500,000 showed an
average net profit of 2.1%) and
considering the fact the merchant
pays the stamp companies 2% of
his sales volume for all stamps
given out, then if the volume of
the store falls to 100%, then
PRACTICALLY" ALL OF THE
PROFITS OF THE STORE DIS
APPEARS. Thus the merchant
must raise his prices or discontinue
the stamps.
It is usually during the second
year that the merchant puts the
stamps under the counter and gives
them out only when the customer
directly asks for them. Sometimes,
at first, stamps will no longer be
given on short-profit items like ci
garettes. Other stores have dis
continued giving stamp while their
special prices are in effect.
Other stores have increased the
number of stamps given with each
lOf 1 purchase to two, three, and in
Denver recently, to as high as 4!;
in an effort to maintain their sales
volume. (While stores owning their
own stamp companies and getting
their profits indirectly can afford
such generosity, this would be vir
tual suicide for a store having to
buy the stamps from a separate
company.)
Still, in the end, most stores tap
er off markedly in the stamp oper
ations during this year, mostly
quitting them.
The third year is marked by a
further decreasing of interest all
around, with usually only a few
* stores continuing to give out-
stamps when demanded and only a
few customers interested in them.
Ihe fourth year is the year of
forgetfulness all around, setting
the stage for another surge about
a year later.
OUR PURPOSE in talking about
stamps is a hope that in doing so.
WE CAN
CLE.
SHORTEN THIS CY-
^ TRADING STAMPS HAVE NO
PLACE in food distribution. They
are too costly and inefficient. W"e
believe them good for neither the
store giving them out or the cus
tomer receiving them.
We believe we have made our
point.
