Six-Year-Old Market...

Librium Top

Tranquilizer

NEW YORK—Hoffman-LaRoche

has captured a major share of the

U.S. tranquilizer market with its

new drug, Librium, introduced in

March.

The drug took off in the market

like a bird. It needed only three

months to become the No. 1 prod-

uct in new tranquilizer prescrip-

tions. Roche thus has the hottest

prescription product of 1960. It is

expected to spend close to $2,000,-

000 to promote Librium before the

Update: Despite the magnitude

of this declaration, P&G kept Crest

ads relatively subdued—a factor

that probably played to its benefit

in the long run. Before the an-

nouncement, Crest had a 12% mar-

ket share compared with Colgate’s

35% share and Gleem’s 20%. By

1964, Crest held a sizable lead at

more than 30%, compared with

Colgate’s 25%.

Estimated 1964 ad spending for

Crest was $12 million compared to

$1.5 million in 1960. Crest re-

ceived the most ad spending of any

P&G product, a distinction it

would retain until 1980.

Public Accepts Ads

But Refuses to Pay

for TV, Study Finds

COLUMBUS, O.—Despite its unfa-

vorable publicity, television still re-

tains the basic confidence of its au-

dience, especially as it relates to

news coverage, but viewers have

some misgivings about TV’s han-

dling of commercials.

These were the principal find-

ings in a 1,700-sample survey con-

ducted here last April. The survey

showed that many, and in some

cases most, of the respondents:

• Believe at least some TV com-

mercials are visually “rigged” to

make products appear to better ad-

vantage, but believe the same prac-

tice is equally prevalent in “slick-

paper” national magazines.

• Are annoyed by the number of

commercials in and between TV

programs, by hard-sell commer-

cials and exaggerated claims, but

have no objections to advertising

on TV when properly handled.

• Would be unwilling to pay an

annual fee—even $5 to $10—for

advertising-free programs. #
