“Domestic Science” Designs a Salad Fork
In collaboration with the engineers of the Good Housekeeping Institute, Oneida Community, Ltd., designers have originated “Today’s Salad Fork,” the result of a scientific examination of this important eating implement, and the careful planning of a fork which embodies several new utility features. Improvements regarded as important by Oneida include (1) tines of greater strength, (2) a stiffer cutting tine equipped with a cutting edge, (3) a careful adjustment of handle length, to provide proper leverage, and (4) well-designed contour from handle tip to end of tines sufficiently flattened to permit straightline pressure, as in a knife. The new Tudor salad fork is available in Madelon, June, Barbara and Skyline designs. Oneida advertising plans for spring include mass coverage magazines aggregating fifteen million circulation, featuring a four for $1 salad fork offer. Other copy will present generally the Tudor patterns, with strong price appeal.

Community Promotes Silverplate Sales Plan
ONEIDA SILVERSMITHS RECENTLY began fall promotion in depth of an “8 for the price of 6 set” of Community Silver. plate flatware services after successfully merchandising the program through retail jewelers to consumers for the past year.
For the fall and pre-Christmas program Oneida is introducing a handsome white and silver gift carton with one complete five-piece place setting—a regular $10 value—so that it can be seen by customers through a clear acetate cover on a backing of red fabric. The remaining seven place settings are packaged within the carton in individual compartments, making a combination gift package and displayer.
Retail price of the entire service of eight is $59.95 or the usual price of six place settings.
Oneida executives say that the savings ratio can be applied to four or 12 settings on the basis of four for the price of three or 12 for the price of nine.
For dealers who want to promote larger units of sale, Oneida will offer Community in a choice of new drawer chests or extra large flat chests at standard prices.
Hostess drawer cabinets come in colonial maple or dark mahogany finishes, and the 19-inch Colonial Chest is in authentic early American styling with maple finish.
