‘(d)Profit Potential Analysis *-*°% Distributors’ average profit — Estimated cans per day Number of retail accounts per can average 60 100 200 250 $6,480 $10,800 «$21, 600 $27, 000 12, 960 21, 600 43, 200 54,000 39,440 - 32) 400 64, 800 81,600 Par. 6. In the course and conduct of their business as aforesaid for the purposes of inducing the purchases of distributorships, respondents’ representatives have made, and are now making, numerous oral statements and representations.

Among and typical, but not all inclusive of said statements and representations are the following :

(a) After these accounts are established for you by ti the company, we will come in with a local advertising campaign that will knock your hat off. We will literally bombard your entire area with a full saturation advertising progr: am, mostly by radio. (b) Full medical life insurance will be paid for you by Cromwell even though it does not appear in the fine print of the agreement. (c) The average service station will on a national average sell sixty oil filters per month. This figures out to be $600 a month. $1800 a month can be earned on the sale of additives alone. Therefore, you can expect to make $12,000 to $14,000 a year on your investment. CROMWELL OIL COMPANY, ET AL. ° 821 819 = Complaint (d) As a distributor, you will receive an immediate cash rebate of $46.60 on each $1000 worth of additives you sell. (e) Your loss from consignments will | be > very’ minimal, less than 2 percent. oe (£) As an incentive program for the service accounts a 25¢ tab will be redeemed by you from the service accounts on every can of a Cromwell X38 product. Cromwell will in turn redeem this tab fro: om_ you. Par. 7. In truth and in fact: a, (a) Respondents did not and do not establish retail service accounts for the distributor. The distributor has been and.is presently required to aid in the establishment of these accounts. . (b) On many occasions the aforesaid retail service accounts have been and are presently in territories previously sold to prior Cromw ell X83 distributors.

(c). Cromwell has not nor does it presently saturate the distributor's Ss area with local, regional and national. advertising. On the contrary, respondents’ advertising campaign has consisted and does now consist of a few spots on non-prime time radio shows and ads in national automotive magazines.

.(d) The respondents have never.nor are they now paying for any type of medical life insurance in behalf of respondents’ distributors. (e) The assurance of an immediate profit was and is illusory and the respondents’ profit analysis has proved to be a gross exaggeration. _(f) The $46.60 rebate to the distributor for each $1000 of additives sold was changed to require the distributors to only apply the aforesaid rebate to future orders from respondents.. , (g) Losses by the distributor on consignment orders proved to be more than 2 percent and in many cases closer to 10 percent. (h) The cash redemption of the 25¢ tabs was discontinued without prior notice to distributors and respondents presently permit distributors to. apply tab redemptions only. as credits on orders. Therefore, the statements and representations in Paragraphs Five and Six hereof were and are false, misleading and deceptive. Par. 8. In the conduct of their business, and at all times mentioned herein, respondents have been in substantial competition, in commerce with corporations, firms and individuals in the sale of distributorships, automotive oil additives and or other merchandise. Par. 9. The use by respondents of the aforesaid false and misleading, and deceptive statements, representations, and practices has had, and now has, the capacity and tendency to mislead members of the purchasing public into the erroneous and mistaken belief that said statements and representations were and are true and into the purchase of respondents’ exclusive distributorship and substantial quantities of 822 FEDERAL TRADE~ COMMISSION DECISIONS Complaint 81 FTC.
