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. #
