"YOU DON'T HAVE TO CLIMB
AMOUNTAIN
TO ENLIGHTENMENT"
/
Just send away for the Consumer Information
Catalog and a key to enlightenment will appear
in your mailbox.
The Consumer Information Catalog is put out
by the Federal Government. And it lists over 200 of
their booklets that you can send away for. Most are
free. And they can help you with things like how to
buy a home, how to grow vegetables, how to deal
with headaches, simple plumbing repairs and many
other everyday and not-so-everyday problems.
So if you wish to learn about the mystic sensibil-
ities of the wayward ancients,
put on your climbing gear.
But, if you wish to know
about how to fix a leaky faucet,
send for the catalog. Write:
Consumer Information Center,
Dept. A, Pueblo, Colorado 81009.
Remember, it's free.
Which is only right. After all,
the first step towards enlighten-
ment shouldn't enlighten your
pocketbook.

Falling Merchandise
As Grace pulled a six-pack of
ginger ale from a market shelf,
another pack slipped out and
crashed on her toes. Painfully
bruised, she aimed a damage suit
at the management. But in c@urt
the company denied liability.
"She was the last one to touch
that stack," the manager painted
out, "so she brought her troublm
on herself."
But evidence showed that the
cartons had been set up at an tin.
stable angle. This was enough,
ruled the court, to place legal
liability on the market. The court
said a store should build its
displays sturdily enough to with-
stand a reasonable amount of
hand]inK by the public.
Falling bottles and cans have
led to a substantial number of
lawsuits. Generally speaking, the
claimants are successful ff they
can pin a negligence label on the
market.
In another case a shopper
touched off a cawJ_de of canned
goods when her shopping cart
caught the edge of a display in
the middle of an aisle. Again, in a
court hearing, the company taed
to blame the victim.
But again the court ruled in her
favor. The judge noted that the
display was so wide, it left only
30 inches of aisle to accommodate
l&inch carts.
"It should have been readily
foreseeable," said the judge, "that
shoppers, using carts which am
not always easily maneuverabla,
might risk contacting the display
and disturbing its blnnc"
But in another case, an aisle
display left more than four feet of
room on either side. A youngster
who tripped and fell against the
display was unable, in a later
lawsuit, to win damagm for
having been struck by falling
merchandise.
The court said that not only
was the display proper but also it
had been subjected to an tmez.
pectabla kind of impact.
"It was plaintiff's tripping and
abnormal contact with the stack
of cases," said the court, "that
caused them to fall."
