Do people remember the messages that lumber manufacturers and retailers place on their advertising matchbooks ?
The Hooper-llolmes Bureau, a S7-year-old commercial research organization with branch offrces in 115 cities, will conduct more than 5,000 interviews in 33 cities {rom coast to coast to determine how well men and women recall the advertising messages placed on match covers by more than 300,000 American companies-one out of every 13 business concerns. A similar survey in 1950 made a finding that 36.6% of persons carrying matchbooks could identify the cover message then in their pockets or purses, without looking.
For lumbermen interested in statistics and information on advertising matchbooks, the industry has prepared a brochure, "The Best Read Book in America," available on inquiry to the Match Industry Information Bureau, 500 Fifth Avenue, New York City 36.
