Last year’s average gift was $42 and'although Mr. Ferguson said the campaign is a serious one, it’s not a door-to- door, public solicitation for funds. A sustaining mem- bership is good for one year and contributions are left totally up to the members. Michael Bregman, business studies manager for Loblaws, said all nutritional and labeling laws are followed by the “no name“ program. They are mass displayed in the stores and are identified by their bright yellow packaging and simple black print description of the'con- tents. Packaging. marketing and advertising expenses are the main source of the saving. said Mr. Bregman. Loblaws Groceterias Limited announced its “no-name” product line with an initial launch of 16 items. The products are estimated to save con- sumers up to 40 per cent with a minimum saving of 10 per cent compared with house brands. The unbranded items are produced by reputable manufacturers, some of which produce Loblaws’ house brands and some produce nationally branded products. The most prominent is the elimation of un- necessary frills which includes multi-colored labeling and use of custom containers. Loblaws’ Richmond Heights Plaza branch also had high dollar sales of these items, but the assistant manager said the exact figures were classified information. Hillcrest Loblaws "Super" is the word Loblaws‘ Hillcrest Mall‘s store manager used to describe the new “no- name" generic product line which hit the market last Wednesday. “We sold about $12,000 worth of the new product last week,” said manager Michael Demers. Store grosses S 72,000 in first ’no-name’ week Wherever the cost is justified, Loblaws packs in larger sizes. For example toilet paper is bagged 10 rolls to a package and serviettes packed in 400 rather than 240. 240. The products are totally Asfarasthemarketing guaranteed and and advertising expense, thoroughly laboratory is open, they will take advantage of a 25-cent saving. “It was really great,” Bob Kirk. president of the Maple Senior Citizens‘ Club said afterwards. “Rest assured every last one of us appreciated it." A Lion without a heart? There is no such thing. Just ask any of the 60 senior citizens who were feasted and entertained by members of the Maple Lions Club March 21 at the Maple Community Centre. It was the first attempt for such a program for the Maple Lions Club but‘ “I am sure it will become an annual event," ac‘ cording to Lion president Mike Granger who, along with 40 other members of his club, enjoyed them- Books of every kind at HELP sale Map/e Lions show seniors a great time The evening started off with a baked ham dinner, complete with all the trimmings, followed by movies, entertainment by a Maple group of singers and probably more im- portant â€" a good get together. Mr. Bregman sees the only marketing cost as the initial advertising required to educate the consumer; “We want to see those seniors that have moved away return," he told them. “and those that are now living here to stay here with us." In addressing the senior citizens, Mr. Granger said he wanted them to know the Maple Lions Club is, “fully behind them in support” of a new senior citizen’s centre for Maple. selves as much as the seniors. “It is not really a cost because Loblaws ad- vertises each week anyway," he said. If consumers support the program. Loblaws will go to manufacturers with volume results to get better prices to pass on to consumers. The future of the program depends on consumer reaction. There are another 15 products in various stages of development now, most are in for quality testing. and Mr. Bregman expects them to be in the stores in about three weeks. and consumer tested for quality and value, said Mr: Bregaman.
